7-1 win by Giants (20-13), now 2.5 games ahead of the Dodgers and Padres. Slater homered for the second game in a row, went 2 for 2 yesterday. Only weakness in Slater's and Yastrzemski's game are those mustaches.
Odd stat: After decades of marginal running skills (last in steals in the National League in both 2010 and 2014), the Giants are 4th in MLB in stolen base percentage (16 steals in 19 attempts, 84.2%). Stanford's own Austin Slater has 6 steals in 6 attempts this year, he's 22 for 23 in his career. Tied for 8th in MLB this year.
