2

 

GIANTS   106-54                    One more win will do it.
LA             104-56    2 GB       Best they can do now is tie.

Yesterday
Giants defeated San Diego, 3-0, their seventh straight win.
LA rallied to defeat Milwaukee, 8-6, their fifth straight win.

Today
Giants host San Diego, a 1:05 PDT (4:05 EDT) start. Kevin Gausman has the opportunity to drive the Golden Spike. Joe Musgrove opposes; it's his fifth start against the Giants this year. He is 1-2 in those starts.
LA hosts Milwaukee tonight, Julio Urias against Corbin Burnes. A fine pitching matchup that we devoutly hope will be meaningless. 

Last Night's Game
The Giants scored two quick ones in the first and Anthony DeSclafani went five quiet innings on 71 pitches to win his 13th game. Darin Ruf homered, Mike Yastrzemski and LaMonte Wade had RBIs, and Camilo Doval pitched a perfect ninth for this third save in four days. Jose Alvarez, on in relief of "Des" in the sixth, gave up three hits but no runs thanks to a baserunning blunder by the immensely talented but erratic Fernando Tatis jr, who carelessly overran third base on a ball that hit the bag and was picked up by Evan Longoria, who tagged him out to end the inning. There were no other threats from the visitors, and the Giants tied the all-time franchise record with their 106th win, matching the 1904 New York Giants team led by John McGraw and Christy Mathewson.
