#1 Morris the San Francisco Giants (16-11) have been playing close to .500 ball they lost a series to the San Diego Padres (16-12) at Petco Park as the Padres are tough customers. The Giants won the third game avoiding getting swept thanks to the fine hitting of Mike Tauchman’s three run home run.

#2 The Padres have some hitters on the club that have delivered and who wouldn’t expect Manny Machado at some point in the series to come through which he did with a three run homer on Saturday night.

#3 Giants catcher Buster Posey has been swinging the bats he’s hitting .359 with 23 hits, six home runs, and nine RBIs.

#4 The Giants for their most recent wins have been getting some good pitching from Alex Wood (3-0), Caleb Baragar (2-0) and Johnny Cueto (2-0). How’s Cueto’s progress coming along since his injury when he had to leave the game.

#5 The Giants are in Colorado to face the Rockies for a three game series the starting pitchers for tonight’s game have not been announced the Rockies (10-17) have played .500 ball in their last ten games going 5-5.
