Make that five in a row for the Giants, who have come out of nowhere to find an unexpected winning streak against the Mets and Cardinals.
Wednesday night, Anthony DeSclafani kept the hot streak going with six strong innings as the Giants cranked out a 7-3 win over the Cardinals in front of 21,748 fans at Oracle Park.
Over the club’s five-game winning streak, Giants starting pitchers have gone 3-0 with a 2.02 ERA. They had previously been 1-8 with a 3.79 ERA through the first 19 games. DeSclafani, who might want to avoid ever throwing another strike to Paul Goldschmidt after the former MVP continued his dominance over DeSclafani with a 3-for-3 game that included two home runs, was otherwise brilliant as he held the Cardinals to two runs over six innings.In the first inning, Goldschmidt got a belt-high sinker and launched it for a solo home run that put the Cardinals ahead 1-0.
Nobody has hurt DeSclafani like Goldschmidt, who is now a remarkable 17-or-30 with six doubles and four home runs off him in his career.The left-handed hitting LaMonte Wade Jr. wasn’t supposed to play, but got into the lineup after a late scratch by Mike Yastrzemski, who is battling side soreness.
