SAN FRANCISCO — All of a sudden, the Giants are back on a winning streak. It happened in flash — er, a splash.
The Giants used a pair of home runs — including a tie-breaking shot into McCovey Cove from Mike Yastrzemski — to back up a solid spot start from Jakob Junis and win their second straight game over the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, enough to earn a split in the four-game series with a team expected to contend for the NL Central.
Following a five-game losing skid during which the Giants scored 10 total runs, they have responded with 17 runs — and two wins — the past two days. Their fourth and final run Sunday came in the sixth inning off the bat of Yastrzemski, who drove in two, and splashed down beyond the right field wall to give the Giants a 4-3 lead.
