SAN FRANCISCO — After traversing four cities over the past 11 days, the Giants’ team charter landed back home at about 2 a.m. Tuesday. And later that night, they began their brief homestand in the same fashion as the final four games of their road trip: with another notch in the win column.
The season is only 18 games old, yet San Francisco is already able to claim its second winning streak of five games. And seemingly a new cast of contributors is leading the way each night.
Kicking off the Bay Bridge series Tuesday, it was Wilmer Flores’ turn, driving in half of the Giants’ runs and scoring twice to back up another excellent showing by Carlos Rodón in a 8-2 win over their crossbay rivals. Flores doubled and homered — later padded by a three-run blast by Austin Slater — and Rodón tossed six innings while limiting the A’s to a single run.
