The Giants have taken the early lead in the NL West this season but they come into this weekend set with rival Los Angeles having lost their last 2 games.
The Giants needed extra innings to grab a win on Monday, and will look to extend their six-game winning streak when they face the Pirates in Pittsburgh in game two of a three game series on Tuesday.
This is a matchup of two first place teams, surprise first place teams if you ask me. In the case of the Giants it was expected they would settle in behind the Dodger but recent strong play has them just ahead.
The San Diego Padres will head back out west to San Francisco on Monday to open a three-game game series with the Giants, who they took two of a three games from at home, back on April 18-20.
The San Francisco Giants host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday afternoon in game three of a three-game set. San Francisco won game two in the series on Wednesday, 2-1.
The San Francisco Giants will aim to stay hot when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 2 of a three-game series on Wednesday night in the City by the Bay.
The Giants usually win a World Series in even-numbered years (2o1o, 2012) so we’ll see if a pattern continues and 2014 is pre-ordained for them. However, the D’backs are a hungry competitor in the Giants’s division, so they’ll have something to say about that.
San Francisco Giants (32-29) vs Arizona Diamondbacks (35-27)
The San Francisco Giants came into this weekend hoping to close the gap against the first place Arizona Diamondbacks but the best they can hope for now is winnning the series. They dropped the opener but came back yesterday winning a 10-5 victory.
The Diamondbacks are hanging in there pretty well considering they are dealing with some injuries after pretty low expectations coming into the season.
You know you are doing something right when you win two World Series titles in three seasons and the following year you are not even picked to win your division. That is just how Giants’ manager Brian Bochy likes things as his team always performs its best as an underdog.
The San Francisco Giants have absolutely dominated the first three games of the World Series. They’ll look to finish off the sweep in Detroit Sunday night.
The Giants got off to slow starts in the NLDS and NLCS, but they have jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the World Series. Detroit has only put up three runs in the first two games. The Giants pitching staff has starred so far in this series.
They took two completely different paths, but both the Tigers and the Giants are in the World Series in 2012. Detroit looked out of it at times during the season, but they came on at the right time and they are red hot right now.
This could be a preview of a playoff matchup in a couple months. The Nationals have the best record in baseball, but the Giants are charging hard with their improved lineup and strong pitching staff.
The Giants won yesterday’s game against the Cardinals and they now have a 1.5 game lead over the Dodgers in the NL West. The Cardinals are still in the NL Central race, but they trail the Reds by 6 games.
