"Opening their penultimate homestand of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Giants sat four games back of the Mets for the wild card spot. They will face off against Arizona, a half-game back of them in the standings, six times over their final 19 games. Even after losing two in a row for the first time since August 21-22, San Francisco has gone 11-3 over its past 14 games,"
"All of a sudden back in the playoff hunt, Melvin said it hasn't changed his managerial maneuvering. We just try to win every game no matter what it's the big leagues, he said. It's been pretty much the same all year because we've been back-and-forth. Even when we've been on the verge of being out of it, you know you're not. You know that all it takes is a run to get back into it."
The Giants' winning streak ended in St. Louis, yet the team considers itself the hottest in baseball. Two one-run losses closed the road trip, but the club remains four games behind the Mets for the wild-card and will play six games against Arizona, a half-game behind, during the final 19 games. San Francisco has gone 11-3 over 14 games, driven by hot bats from Rafael Devers and Willy Adames, and saw an 18-game home run streak conclude. The roster shifted from giving young players more time to mounting a sudden playoff push, with a crucial homestand and three weeks of pivotal games ahead.
