The Giants rode their bats to a 16-hit outpouring to a 13-9 win over the hapless San Diego Padres this afternoon. This one goes squarely in the WBO (Won By Offense) column, bringing the new ShaferStat to:

3.5 6.5 5 6 10-11
Jeff Samardzija got the start and the win off a truly mediocre performance. He gave up 5 earned runs over 5-2/3 innings, fanning seven while walking two. He bumped his season ERA to 3.86. It was his third win of the year against a solitary loss.
After a travel day off tomorrow, the Giants are in New York to square off against the red-hot Met who are currently sporting a six-game win streak and a 13-7 mark.
