SAN FRANCISCO — For a team with only 14 wins, the Giants have packed in quite a few thrilling games.
There was the night Joe Panik drove one into center at Kauffman Stadium to beat the Royals in extra innings. The night newcomers Christian Arroyo and Michael Morse homered in a comeback win over the Dodgers. The night Johnny Cueto edged Clayton Kershaw. Just a few days ago, the Giants scored four in the ninth to stun the Mets.
Those games came with a common, unfortunate theme: They were all followed by a loss.
Momentum has slipped through this last place team’s grasp over and over again, but on Saturday the Giants finally found a way to keep their ship headed in the right direction.
