Giants’ 10-game winning streak is club’s longest since May 20-31, 2004, improving their record to a season-high 10 games above .500, 42-32.
SAN FRANCISCO — Nothing, not another bullpen game, not the Padres’ star power, nor Fernando Tatis Jr.’s powerful right arm, can stop the Giants’ winning streak.
San Francisco clinched a series win over the Padres — they will have a chance at a four-game sweep with Alex Wood on the mound Thursday — the first time the Giants have won a series at Oracle Park since the third weekend of May, despite owning the majors’ best record since Mother’s Day . Somehow, they don’t own the majors’ longest active winning streak, which belong to the Cincinnati Reds, who won their 11th in a row Wednesday.
The Giants broke through in the fifth against Yu Darvish, putting their first three batters of the inning on base, but it appeared they would have to settle for one run. After what would have been an inning-ending outfield assist from Fernando Tatis Jr. was overturned, it turned into a four-run inning.
But Giants manager Gabe Kapler conferred with Wolcott and challenged the play. Sanchez was ruled to have blocked Sabol’s path to the plate — similar to the play that got an irate Bruce Bochy ejected earlier this week — awarding the Giants their second run and extending the inning. Once play resumed following the approximately five-minute delay, Mike Yastrzemski and J.D. Davis each immediately ripped RBI singles that made it 4-0.
