SAN FRANCISCO — Whether it be wins or hits, the Giants have struggled lately to string together anything but losses. But perhaps the tides are starting to turn.
Earlier this week, the Giants won consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month. And though they weren’t able to make it three in a row Monday night to open the home stand, on Tuesday, the offense erupted for the second time in the past three games to rout the D-backs 13-0.
The Giants got a quartet of home runs — three in the first three innings — from Yermín Mercedes, Joey Bart and Thairo Estrada to back up six shutout innings from Logan Webb. By the end of the third, San Francisco led 8-0, and Estrada added on in the seventh with his second shot of the night to make it 10-0.
