San Francisco Giants News

After Sunday’s come from behind victory, Mike Krukow joined Murph and Mac Monday to discuss Jeff Samardzija’s recent success.

You know the stories of Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford and Joe Panik. The histories of Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Brandon Belt. All were part of a core group that carried the San Francisco Giants through the first half of the decade, one of the most successful stretches for any franchise at any point in baseball history.

It’s been a forgone conclusion for several weeks now, but Buster Posey was officially recognized Sunday night for his standout season by being named an All-Star starter at catcher for the National League.

The Giants battled back in the seventh inning for a 5-3 win to sweep the Pirates and earn their sixth straight win.

For the second time since being sent down to AAA Sacramento about a month ago, Christian Arroyo suffered an injury thanks to a hit by pitch. This time, it’ll cause the Giants prospect to miss some significant time.

After pounding out a season-high 18 hits in their 13-5 win over the Pirates on Friday night, the San Francisco Giants were held without a hit through the first five frames on Saturday afternoon at PNC Park. 24-year-old Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl entered the contest with a 5.58 earned run average over 15 starts this season, and had not thrown more than 5.0 innings in a single start since April 18.

Dan Slania lived out his Major League dream on Friday night. The 25-year-old right-hander made his MLB debut in the ninth inning of the Giants’ 13-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, tossing a perfect inning and recording the final out of San Francisco’s fourth straight victory.

With the San Francisco Giants sitting 20 games under .500 and late-season opportunities awaiting on the horizon for the team’s prospects, there’s no better time to be a AAA player turning heads in the Giants’ organization. The Giants’ No. 8 overall prospect, and No. 2 pitching prospect, Joan Gregorio, is one of the prospects who […]

There aren’t many sellouts in the Pacific Coast League, but there aren’t many opportunities for fans of AAA baseball to watch Madison Bumgarner. Bumgarner made his second rehab start since suffering a shoulder sprain in a dirt-biking accident in April, and after throwing three hitless innings in the Arizona Rookie League last Sunday, the Giants’ left-hander battled through an up-and-down effort against the Fresno Grizzlies.
