SAN FRANCISCO Lackluster play by the Giants resulted in back-to-back losses to the lowly Pirates, but they still entered Sunday with the best record in baseball. One major reason for their sustained success? They tend to bounce back from defeats better than anyone.
The Giants played back up to their high standards by beating the last-place Pirates, 6-1, to fend off a three-game sweep at Oracle Park. With the win, San Francisco improved to 62-37 overall and 25-12 following a loss, the best mark in the Majors.
It was a well-rounded effort for the Giants, who used four home runs, including two from LaMonte Wade Jr., a strong start from left-hander Alex Wood and deft relief work from Jay Jackson to halt their rare skid.
