As the Giants win streak began to pick up momentum, this series began to take on increasing significance. Before it began on June 7, the Giants were seven games back in the division, sitting at an exactly even mark of 32-32. They were actually as close to the Rockies in last place, as to the Diamondbacks. But ten wins in a row will do any mid-standings team the power of good, and the Giants have now leap-frogged the Dodgers for second. Despite the winning streak having hit the buffers in no uncertain style yesterday, with a 10-0 hammering by the Padres, San Francisco now has a better run differential than Arizona.
