The best tonic for a losing streak is a winning streak. Does one win count as a streak? I say it does. The Giants put a hurt on the Diamondbacks tonight in Phoenix, snapping their three-game losing streak and compounding Arizona's misery. Those guys have lost nine straight and have the second-worst record in baseball. The D-backs are down, and the Giants need to keep kicking them. Beating up on the bad teams is a good formula for success.
Brandon Crawford hit a two-out bases-clearing double in the 1st, Evan Longoria added a three-run homer in the 3rd, he added another RBI on a double in the 7th, and Curt Casali had pinch-hit RBI single in the 9th.
