Like so many great works of our time, the San Francisco Giants 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies had three acts.
Let’s look at each.
Act 1: Hope and growth
The Giants 7-2 loss to the Rockies on Monday got off to an ominous start. Johnny Cueto allowed runners on the corners with just one out in the first inning, and only a few minutes into action, the game was on the line.
Cueto struck out Trevor Story, and a scoreless inning was within reach.
