The Giants’ nine-game winning streak matched their best stretch of baseball in their 107-win 2021 season.
Trailing 3-1 entering the seventh, the Giants scored runs in each of the final three innings. They nearly blew a bases-loaded, no-outs opportunity in the seventh, but Brandon Crawford salvaged one run with a clutch single following what could have been a rally killing double play.
Crawford’s groundball single up the middle, driving home Luis Matos , gave Joc Pederson the chance to tie the game with one swing of the bat in the eighth. Leading off the inning, Pederson sent a 2-0 fastball from Nick Martinez sailing over the right field wall. It echoed Mike Yastrzemski’s walk-off splash hit from a night before, only reaching the water on a bounce instead of on the fly.
The Giants’ winning streak reached nine games, matching their best stretch of baseball from their 107-win season in 2021 . They haven’t won 10 in a row since May 20-31, 2004, under manager Felipe Alou. Climbing a season-high nine games over .500, San Francisco won for the 13th time in 17 games since the calendar turned to June, with seven of those wins coming after trailing entering the seventh inning.
