Surprising MLB history made in Oakland yesterday

[Auggie]

S.F. Giants' Donovan Solano pinch-hit homerun in the eighth inning lifted the Giants to a 2-1 victory over the Atheltics, just one day after LaMonte Wade Jr.'s pinch-hit homer in the ninth gave the Giants the lead and a 6-5 victory as well.

It was the first time in major-league history that a team has hit pinch-hit homers in the eighth inning or later to erase a deficit and take a lead in back-to-back games.

Never happened in over a century of baseball? Amazing.

1. The Giants seem to be on something of a roll

I don’t follow baseball that closely but I did see an article on ESPN about how they are tearing it up.

3. Their next two week are going to be brutal ...

Sixteen game stretch with two starters on the I.L., nearly all against playoff or near-playoff bound teams, nine road games, two vs Los Angeles.

If they can get through this at least playing .500 it'll be a success IMO.

2. Yeah, really

Seems like that would have happened already by now.
