SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants have been the definition of average since they owned a 14-7 record and sat in first place in the National League West at the end of April.
From the beginning of May to the end of their 10-game road trip over the weekend, the Giants went 15-17. They’ve had two five-game losing streaks and one six-game win streak. Some days it looks like they can slug it out with any team in baseball. On others, the offense barely makes a peep.
Perhaps this season-long nine-game homestand represents an opportunity for the Giants to regain some of that early-season swagger and climb a bit closer to first place.
