On the Giants podcast Miguel discusses the Giants who had lost eight of nine previous to Tuesday’s game. With the series tied at one a piece with the visiting Cincinnati Reds the Giants are pushing to win this three game series after dropping every series they’ve been in since the All Star break.

The Giants hurting for some offense are hoping that Hunter Pence can get back into the line up soon after he went through hamstring surgery. Pence a great clubhouse presence is looking good in Triple A Sacramento and he’s connected for a double and is seeing the ball well. The Giants Matt Duffy and Joe Panik are also out of the starting line up.
