An overall disappointing start post-All Star, and a frustrating series loss in Colorado ended, well, with a song.

Hayden Birdsong scribbled all over the history books in his fifth career start with a 2-hit, 2-run, 12-K gem to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 win over the Rockies.

It was only the 9th time in franchise history that a pitcher 22 years old or younger recorded 12 strikeouts or more in a game. A feat that a Giants arm hadn’t achieved since Madison Bumgarner in 2012.
