Giants have their best offensive night of the
season

They are beating the Astros 13-0 in the 8th. This practically doubles their offensive output for the entire season! Their previous high this season was 11 runs, so this is amazing for them. Pablo Sandoval has a triple and a homer and Travis Ishikawa added a home run and three RBI. With their lineup, though, they'll probably still have to win games 3-2 all year without some more reliable power hitters.
