Mike Yastrzemski homered and drove in 3 of SF’s 5 runs, his second 3-RBI game this week.

The Giants’ win Friday night also kicked off a stretch of 12 straight games against opponents with losing records, possibly their best and last chance to make a push for the postseason. After this series with Pittsburgh , the Giants host Arizona for four, then travel to Colorado and Detroit .

The turnaround for Yastrzemski, who has been ice cold since the start of June, has to be encouraging for the Giants. His .169 average since June 1 was the lowest of any qualifying hitter entering Friday night but he is batting .300 with three of his 12 home runs this season coming in the past week.
