After a 4-9 start that included four straight series losses, the San Francisco Giants finally claimed their first series win of the new season by taking three of four from the Colorado Rockies.
That included a 1-0 pitcher’s duel on Thursday, an 18-inning thriller on Friday and a complete disappearing act offensively on Sunday.
While they were unable to complete the series sweep, it’s undoubtedly a step forward for a team that had been struggling to turn the occasional positive moment into wins.
The team will now look to turn things around away from Oracle Park when they head out for an eight-game road trip.
