Bart extended his hitting streak to a season-long 7 games with his 5th multi-hit game over that stretch.
SAN FRANCISCO — Two months ago, the Giants would have considered their rally over, kaput and done with if faced with the same situation that presented itself Monday night. There were two runners on base, one out and Joey Bart was stepping to the plate.
“It’s a pretty comfortable, pretty confident look at this point,” Kapler said of Bart after his 3-for-4, two-RBI performance Monday. “What it means is we have a threat at the bottom of the lineup, somebody that can drive the baseball, keep the line moving and is really grinding out at-bats right now. … Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but now it’s starting to get a little consistent. It’s very encouraging.
Asked recently what gives him hope that this squad can make up that ground in the little time left — 47 games remain after Monday — Kapler pointed to his club’s first clean bill of health all season. “Everybody on the team knows the tools are there. To see him start clicking, it’s just fun,” Cobb said. “He’s had more than half a season of constant struggles. And you would never know it in the clubhouse, in the dugout, behind the plate. … It’s almost like, well deserved, you battled through all this and now you need to go enjoy the positive results you’re getting”
