    7/24-27/1989 San Francisco at Atlanta

    The season passed the century mark, with more than 100 games now played. The Giants earned a four-game sweep in Atlanta (bettering the 2-2 real-life record). This time they had the bats to thank, as they scored at least eight runs in three of the four games. That overcame some iffy pitching, as the Braves…

    7/20-23/1989 San Francisco at Chicago

    The Giants managed a two-game split at Chicago, doing better than the one win they posted there in reality. Other than a shutout to open the series, the pitching wasn’t up to its usual standard. After 98 games, San Francisco is 12 wins ahead of pace. sim 70-28, actual 58-40July 20 — sim W 8-0…

    There must have been some sort of post-All-Star break hangover, as the Giants went on just their second three-game losing streak of the campaign. Pittsburgh came into San Francisco and won the first three contests before Scott Garrelts and Terry Kennedy put an end to it in the finale. After 91 games, the Giants are…

    Eighty-one games down, eighty-one to go. The season reached the halfway point after the Giants and Cubs split this four-game series. San Francisco’s bullpen couldn’t nail down the opener en route to an extra-innings loss, and then the next three games were all decided by shutouts. At the midway point, the Giants remain 12 wins…
