But when they wasted an unbelievable effort by Lincecum 24 hours later, reality seemed to be back.
For all the Giants great pitching efforts this year there's always just a couple of runs from the offense leaving the slimmest of margins for success.
Thankfully the Mets took out the Rockies to keep the Giants within one game.
Juan Uribe's homer was an absolute bomb. He may not hit all that consistently but like Sandoval he sure doesn't get cheated when he's in the box.
Speaking of Sandoval the Giants need him to get healthy early because when he struggles that really changes the dynamic of the lineup.
Bochy told Penny they only needed him for five. Something tells me he took that a bit personal and channeled it in a great way.
He may only start 4 more games the rest of the way but his impact Wednesday was huge.
Onto Milwaukee where the Giants have really struggled but Zito and Cain and Sanchez should keep the black and orange in contention.
Philly scored three runs in three games but won two. Hard to give them away like that.
Even harder in September.
