San Francisco, California – The San Francisco Giants made MLB history with their 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Oracle Park. Mike Yastrzemski’s two-run double in the second inning played a crucial role in this historic moment for the Giants.
The Giants reached a milestone of 100,000 total runs in franchise history with the two runs scored, becoming the second MLB team to achieve this feat. The Chicago Cubs hold the all-time franchise record with 101,922 runs scored, according to Baseball Reference.
Although not leading in runs scored, the Giants boast the most wins in MLB history with 11,489 victories, slightly edging out the Los Angeles Dodgers who have 11,367 wins.
Over the past three series, the Giants’ offense has been exceptional, winning 8 out of 10 games and scoring a total of 76 runs. Despite facing several injuries to key starters recently, young minor-league call-ups like Heliot Ramos and Brett Wisely have stepped up admirably to fill in the gaps.
With a current record of 28-27, the Giants are firmly in the race for the National League wild-card spot. They are trailing the Dodgers by five games in the NL West.
The team’s recent performance has showcased their resilience and depth, making them a formidable contender in the league. Fans can stay updated on all things Giants by downloading and following the Giants Talk Podcast for exclusive content and insights.
