On the Giants podcast with Michael:

#1 San Francisco Giants Thairo Estrada got the key in Wednesday’s game slugging a RBI single that broke a 4-4 deadlock between the Giants and Philadelphia Phillies at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

#2 Wilmer Flores and Casey Schmitt both had RBI hits for the Giants Blake Sabol and Brandon Crawford both had RBI hits as the Giants have pulled it together picking up their sixth straight win over the Phils.

#3 Michael, talk about Schmitt who been a been a big part of the offense and has been a big inspiration for the Giants in the last two weeks Schmitt has been on the team.

#4 The Giants also got help from JD Davis and Mitch Haniger in the eighth inning with pinch singles and yes the art of bunting is back as Joey Bart squared around with the bases loaded. Is the Giants recent success due to manager Gabe Kapler who just found a few tricks in his baseball bag?

#5 The Giants have the day off and open a three game series against the Miami Marlins Friday night at Oracle Park at 7:15 pm PT. Starting for the Marlins Sandy Alcantara (1-4 ERA 4.91) he’ll be opposed by the Giants Anthony DeScalfani (3-3 ERA 3.06).
