The elephant in the room is the Giants’ ten game winning streak. Yesterday their streak was broken. Their streak changed the landscape:
- The Giants pulled ahead of the Dodgers and are now in second place in the NL West.
- The Diamondbacks and the Giants are battling for first place in the NL West.
- Although the Diamondbacks are ahead by 3.5 games, a sweep by either team will tip the scales. If not, the Diamondbacks will remain in first place.
During their winning streak, the Giants scored 8 runs per games.
