Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 20:43:58 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Nothing, not another bullpen game, not the Padres’ star power, nor Fernando Tatis Jr.’s powerful right arm, can stop the Giants’ winning streak.It reached 10 games Wednesday with a 4-2 win over San Diego, matching the club’s longest unbeaten stretch since it was Barry Bonds, not Mike Yastrzemski, dropping walk-off splash hits into McCovey Cove. Their win Wednesday night didn’t require any such heroics, thanks to the efforts of six pitchers in a bullpen game and a crucial overturned call that turned their lone scoring rally from a one-run inning into four.San Francisco clinched a series win over the Padres — they will have a chance at a four-game sweep with Alex Wood on the mound Thursday — the first time the Giants have won a series at Oracle Park since the third weekend of May, despite owning the majors’ best record since Mother’s Day (25-9).

(KRON) -- Put the fight on pay-per-view! Twitter owner Elon Musk and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have challenged each other in a "cage match," the tech moguls went back and forth on social media.
