On the SF Giants podcast with Stephen Ruderman:

#1 Luis Matos of the San Francisco Giants is hitting like a Ted Williams clinic on Friday he had five RBIs and Saturday he belted a three run home run and six RBIs he helped pace the Giants to a 14-4 laugher over the Colorado Rockies.

#2 Third baseman Matt Chapman had a four for four day at the plate on Saturday and scored three runs and getting around on the ball hitting .236, belted his fifth home run of the season with 20 RBIs.

#3 The Giants have reached a high watermark of winning three straight games for this season. The Giants have had a number of injuries and it’s been remarkable with the players that have come up and replaced the injured and the Giants have been rolling since they lost two out of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

#4 Giants manager Bob Melvin said “We’re swinging the bat really well and I think the vibe in the dugout is probably as good as it’s been” Sounds like Melvin has got the team turning the page.

#5 We didn’t get a chance to ask you about how the Jung Hoo Lee injury and how it has impacted the team and it looks like they’ve regrouped and are trying to turn it around.
