The San Francisco Giants hosted the Cincinnati Reds for four games, and got a measure of revenge for the embarrassing losses they were handed in Cincinnati. They took the last three games of the series to notch their first three-game winning streak of the series, so here are 3 Ups and 3 Downs from the set.
3 UP
1 – Welcome Back, Denard Span
Denard Span was activated before Thursday’s series opener with the Reds, and it was just in time. The center fielder came back hot right away, picking up four hits on Thursday in what was the start of a magnificent series.
