The Giants close out the regular season with 20 games against National League West foes, 13 of those against the Dodgers and D-backs, who are battling for the division lead. The D-backs are up next at AT&T Park for a three-game series starting Monday.
The Giants put together nine hits to score 10 runs in the fourth inning, coming away with an 11-6 victory over the Pirates on Sunday. Pablo Sandoval started it with a three-run double, then added a sacrifice fly in the big frame.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean say shortstop Emmanuel Burriss is the favorite to win the team's shortstop job next season. Sabean is less certain about the team's second baseman, with Eugenio Velez, Ivan Ochoa, Travis Denker and Kevin Frandsen the candidates.
After nailing down a five-out save, Brian Wilson probably won't be asked to pitch more than one inning again when the Giants conclude their three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But he'd try to fulfill the request if he received it.
Saturday's dedication of the statue honoring Orlando Cepeda celebrated the man just as much as the ballplayer. So did the statue itself.
Scott McClain's two-run homer capped a five-run uprising in the seventh inning Saturday night and Nate Schierholtz added his first Major League home run, lifting the Giants to a 7-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Giants accelerated their youth movement toward warp speed Saturday by purchasing the contract of third baseman Conor Gillaspie, who has all of 24 games of professional experience.
The San Francisco Giants have purchased the contract of third baseman Conor Gillaspie, their sandwich pick and the 37th overall selection in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, from short-season Salem-Keizer, the club announced today. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Giants have outrighted outfielder Clay Timpner to triple-A Fresno.
Although the long season has taken a physical toll on Fred Lewis, the left fielder could reappear in the Giants' lineup for their rematch against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ranked as the National League's lowest-scoring team, the Giants justified that status against Pittsburgh's Zach Duke, who began Friday night with a nine-decision losing streak but pitched the Pirates to a 7-0 victory.
Nate Schierholtz declined to join the 23 Olympians honored Friday during the Giants' Olympic Night pregame celebration. In a way, he didn't need to do so. During the Giants' series finale Wednesday in Denver against the Colorado Rockies, Schierholtz received a taste of what his status as an Olympian meant.
The reality of joining other San Francisco Giants greats in bronze still hasn't gripped Orlando Cepeda. "It's incredible," Cepeda said Friday, one day before his statue will be unveiled and dedicated at the corner of Second and King streets outside AT&T Park.
Giants fans living in the Bay Area can see catcher Buster Posey, the club's No. 1 Draft choice, playing this weekend for the organization's Class A San Jose affiliate.
For years, fans have been privy to the artistry Omar Vizquel displays on the baseball diamond.
Despite winning the last two Northwest League titles, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes enter this year's finals against Spokane as underdogs.
Bumgarner rolls in playoff debut
After winning the final game of their road trip, the Giants will try to build off that momentum when they return to San Francisco to face the Pirates and D-backs. Manager Bruce Bochy made it clear that several prospects will receive more playing time the rest of the season so the team can evaluate their future.
The Giants halted their five-game losing streak in a big way, beating the Rockies, 9-2, in the series finale of a three-game set Wednesday at Coors Field. Scott McClain, a longtime Minor Leaguer, finally hit his first big league home run after hitting 287 in 13 years in the Minors.
Pablo Sandoval has been a chameleon over the past month, transforming himself into whatever the Giants need. On Tuesday, the Venezuela native started at third base before switching to first in the sixth inning of the Giants' 6-5, 12-inning loss to the Rockies. On Wednesday, he made his sixth Major League start at catcher.
Kevin Frandsen's commitment to his "Second to None" foundation, which provides comfort to siblings of cancer patients or others who have critical illnesses, is only one reason why he's the Giants' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award, presented by Chevrolet.
Before struggling in his last outing, Barry Zito had won back-to-back starts. That is the Zito the Giants are hoping for when they look to salvage their three-game series with the Rockies and end their five-game losing streak.

Tim Lincecum gave up five runs, and the Giants were unsuccessful in their comeback bid, losing, 6-5, in 12 innings to the Rockies on a chilly night at Coors Field. The loss extended their losing streak to five.
The second wave of September callups were greeted like rock stars as they arrived at the visitor's clubhouse Tuesday before the Giants' game against the Rockies. Left-handed pitchers Pat Misch and Geno Espineli, along with infielder John Bowker and outfielder Nate Schierholtz, received applause from their new teammates shortly after arriving.
