LOS ANGELES — To put it in biblical terms, which is appropriate after the Giants beat one pitcher named Caleb on Sunday and will face another Monday night, this team has spent the first 72 games wandering aimlessly through a desert of mediocrity.
The Giants now need to cross the River Jordan (or at least the Cove McCovey) and blow down the walls of Jericho.
Their 4-1 victory at Dodger Stadium completed the most road-intensive 72 games that any team in the majors has endured in 2018. They have played 42 of those away from AT&T Park.
