San Francisco Giants podcast Stephen Ruderman:

The San Francisco Giants are playing a good team in the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field both team started Tuesday with records of 22-14. Monday’s tough 9-2 loss for the Giants is not indicative of the way they’ve playing of late. As they came back with nine runs in the top of the 11th on Tuesday night for a 14-9 win.

The Giants ran into a tough patch losing a two game series to the San Diego Padres and then dropping the first game on Monday’s game in Wrigley. The Giants got some pay back smacking the Cubs around Wrigley and snapping their three game loss streak.
