A marvelous weekend in Los Angeles after a wonderful trip through St. Louis has brought the San Francisco Giants safely beyond the gravity well of .500 and on a trajectory that could take them into the 2023 postseason. Of course, it’s only June, and plenty can go wrong over the next ~3.5 months, and the Giants might only be on that trajectory from our perspective. Besides, all 7-game winning streaks come to an end.
If you’re looking at the team from the outside, like, say from MLB.com, then you might not think what’s happened here amounts to a whole lot more than a nice run of late or something else that’s damning with faint praise.
