Every one loves a good streak story and I think that it is needed especially on a day after where the Giants were able to generate no offense.
Well this story comes via Baseball Reference and it shows the pure and utter dominance of the Giants pitching staff. The Giants have gone 21 games where they have given up 4 runs or less good for tied for 5th on the all time list.
The single season record was set by the 1972 Cubs at 23 games so the Giants are gunning for them.
It doesn't make you feel any better about the loss last night but at least it is something positive.

Random Observations during the streak:
During the streak the team has gone 13-8 which is pretty depressing seeing the pitching performance they have received.
The team has averaged only 3.05 runs per game while allowing a miniscule 1.76 runs per game. If only the team had an offense.
The team has shut out their opponent 4 times and been shut out themselves 4 times.
The team has allowed 4 runs twice, 3 runs four times, 2 runs six times, and 1 run five times. That is some good pitching.
