The San Francisco Giants are out of hand at the moment, currently riding an eight-game winning streak that has shot them comfortably into first place in the National League West. Such a streak is remarkable by any standards, but the Giants have enjoyed this entire run almost entirely away from AT&T Park.
Yes, the Giants swept a seven-game road trip, picking up those victories at Arizona and at San Diego. Jeff Samardzija highlighted the most recent victory, pitching eight innings while striking out eight and allowing just three Padres to reach base. The 1913 Giants were the last team in franchise history to carry such a road streak and that team played 3,000 miles away in New York.
