The San Francisco Giants struck early on Saturday, which was a very pleasant sight to see.
They didn’t score in Thursday’s first game, and then they backed it up by not scoring in Thursday’s second game. On Friday they waited until they trailed 7-0 to get on the board, giving all their runs the feeling of when your older sibling gives you some of their Halloween candy out of pure pity.
So when Alex Dickerson singled in the first inning on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and scored on a double by Evan Longoria, you immediately felt your shoulders lower from their cozy nook next to your ears.
