The Giants are mathematically eliminated from the 2018 postseason. Surf needs to cancel his reservations. Mine (reservations about the Giants) began after the All Star Break.
Our boys are 49-17 when they plate four runs or more in a game and 21-63 when they do not. The Giants failed to score four or more in ten of their 11 losses in their recent season-killing streak. But that was before last night.
The Giants won 4-2. They are 50-17 this season when they score at least four runs. The pitching staff is in good shape.

Andrew Suarez pitched beautifully for 7 2/3 innings. Evan Longoria took over the team lead in homers with his sixteenth and Chris Shaw had his first three-hit game in the Bigs. All in all it was a lovely and efficient soiree at Wille Mays Field South.
BCraw also went deep and later admitted that his knee has been a source of pain and has affected his hitting for at least two, perhaps three months. That explains a lot.
