On the SF Giants podcast with Stephen:

#1 The San Francisco Giants scored nine runs in back to back games against the Colorado Rockies by scores of 9-8 on Friday and 9-1 on Saturday. After getting swept in Chicago the bats have woke up.

#2 The back to back nine run games is the first time the Giants scored nine runs and 13 runs on May 24 and May 25, 2022.

#3 Mike Yastrzemski swung a hot bat on Saturday night going 4-5, scoring two runs, two RBIs, and two doubles. This is Yastrzemski’s ninth four hit game this season.

#4 Can the Giants turn it up? They’re a noted franchise of making September comebacks and they were remembered as the torture team coming back and making the playoffs. In 2010 they came back to make post season on the last day of the season and went onto win the World Series.

#5 The Rockies are going downhill right now, they’ve won three of their last 15 games starting Aug 20th. They the Major League high for allowing nine or more runs in their last 31 games. Colorado’s pitching is suffering and it showed in the last two games of this series.
