Pitching is the Key

Yesterday the Giants completed a four game series with a hot Cardinals team with a 7-4 win - earning a split. This homestand has shown a great turnaround for San Francisco, and while some hot hitting the past couple days have helped, the starting pitching has been doing exactly what it needs to. In fact, the last six starts by a Giants pitcher have been rather impressive. Just check out these lines:
