Rewind: Cueto matches Bumgarner, extends winning streak

SAN DIEGO — The weight room in the visiting clubhouse at Petco Park is one of the smallest in the league, and it was overflowing after Wednesday’s 2-1 win over the Padres. There was a right-handed reliever doing crunches over by one wall and a left-handed reliever doing curls in the corner. Out by the lockers, another right-hander found a sliver of space for several sets of pushups.

Such is life for the Giants bullpen right now. After a month where Bruce Bochy’s go-to guys were stretched thin, the relievers have had three consecutive days off. The Giants were off Monday, and on Wednesday, a day after Madison Bumgarner’s complete game, Johnny Cueto tossed one of his own.
