The San Francisco Giants did not get off to a good start on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Which, bizarrely enough, constituted a good start.
Perhaps you remember my recap of Tuesday’s loss. If not, here’s the refresher: the Giants had lost five straight games. In all five of those games, they scored the first run. In four of those five games, that run came in the first inning. In the other, it came in the second inning.
So when Thairo Estrada led off the game with a single, you kind of tilted your head to the side and winced.
