ROAD FIRSTS…SF has scored a 1st inning run in 7-straight road contests, dating back to July 22…the last team with a longer such streak was New York-NL in 2006 (Elias)… the last time SF scored in the 1st inning of 7-straight road games was Aug. 18-24, 1987.
THE GIANTS…shut out the Cardinals 15-0 last night, setting a new franchise record for their largest shutout win vs. the Cardinals (Elias)… Are 5-1 on this 7-game road trip to Colorado (3-0) and St. Louis (2-1).

LAST NIGHT’S SHUTOUT…SF’s 15-0 blanking last night was the club’s 2nd-largest shut out victory in SF-era history behind an 18-0 shutout of the Expos on May 24, 2000 at AT&T Park…it also matched the Giants’ largest margin of victory in a road shutout in franchise history, with the other coming April 30, 1918 at Philadelphia (15-0) (Elias).
Double x3
Marco Scutaro hit his 3rd career Grand Slam in the 9th inning
This is the third time during this road trip the Giants have scored double digits! Furthermore, tonight the Giants recorded the largest shutout vs. the Cardinals in our franchise history (the previous record was 11-0 on June 27, 1894, yes that was 1894). If that isn’t enough, tonight was the largest shutout victory over a defending World Series Champion since 1926. Oh yeah, Last time the Giants shut out a team with 15-or-more runs was a game vs. the Montreal Expos on May 24, 2000 when the Giants won 18-0. Not to be outdone, Marco Scutaro now has the most RBIs for the Giants this season (7) and Ryan Vogelsong’s ERA is 2.27.
