Even though the San Francisco Giants are currently at 18-19 for the season, they haven’t been having the greatest year. But, they looked pretty darn good against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.
The Giants exploded offensively, hanging 23 runs on the hapless Rockies in a 23-5 victory.
When a team scores 23 runs, it’s safe to assume that just about the entire roster had a good day at the plate. However, there were a few players who had ridiculous days, particularly Alex Dickerson. Dickerson went 5-for-6 at the plate hitting three home runs, tallying six RBI, and five runs.
Shortstop Brandon Crawford also had himself a day, going 3-for-6 with six RBI and a three-run dinger. Second baseman Donovan Solano was similarly effective, batting 4-for-6 with six RBI and two runs.
With this type of team performance, it’s obvious that the Giants were on their way to setting some type of MLB record on Tuesday. San Francisco became the first team since RBI became an official statistic 100 years ago to have three players that finished a game with 6 RBI apiece.
Is this offensive eruption a sign that the Giants are turning things around in hopes of making a late-season playoff run? Maybe. The team has now won three games straight.
