San Francisco Giants podcast Marko Ukalovic:

#1 San Francisco Giant Willy Adames continues his batting presence going 1-3 at the plate with one run, one home run, two BB’s, and three RBI’s last Sunday evening. He now joins former legendary Giant Rich Aurilia with three or more RBIs in consecutive games since September 2000.

#2 Giants starter Hayden Birdsong now has a 4-3 win ratio with a 4.11 ERA after he claimed the winning pitcher of the game. He put up six strike outs, five walks, one earned run, and three hits. In the past three of his starts, he has walked at least four.

#3 Giant reliever Spencer Bivens appears to be gaining more trust out of the bullpen, even appearing ahead of Ryan Walker in the order. Do you believe the Giants are preparing him for a larger late-inning role given how successful he has been lately, allowing just one hit in his last three appearances?

#4 The Giants have won five of six against the Athletics this season, and their home record at eight games above .500. They now finished their 10-game road trip with a 5-5 record. How concerning is it that the Giants fell short against weaker teams now that the Phillies and Dodgers are visiting San Francisco? Can the team continue its two-game winning streak coming up against a more difficult homestand?

#5 The San Francisco Giants Monday will take on the Philadelphia Phillies as they prepare for their six game home stretch just shortly after leaving Sacramento. Giants will start Landen Roupp with a 6-5 win ratio, and a 3.48 ERA against Phillies Cristopher Sanchez with a 7-2 win ratio, and a 2.68 ERA.
