Summary
The San Francisco Giants just took a series from the Chicago Cubs, and for the first time in a while, they looked like the better team throughout all three games. After weeks of searching for answers, are the Giants finally starting to find something, or is this simply a brief bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season? We break down what looked different against the Cubs, why the offense showed signs of life, and whether this stretch can actually carry over into the weeks ahead. There are still concerns, particularly in the bullpen, but the Giants finally gave fans a reason to believe they might have more fight left than many expected. Plus, we discuss comments from Tony Vitello about the future of the organization, take a closer look at recently acquired pitcher Dylan Smith, and preview a fascinating matchup against a Washington Nationals team that can really swing the bat but continues to struggle on the mound. Have the Giants found a formula they can build on, or is the real test just beginning?
