The Giants win in ridiculous fashion — and now they can show they're seriousThe Giants scored the most runs in a game at Cincinnati since 1965 at Crosley Field. They beat the Reds 19-4.
Steven Duggar - Cranks grand slamDuggar went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and two runs scored Thursday against the Reds.
ImpactDuggar did the majority of his damage in the third inning when he took Michael Feliz deep with the bases loaded. It was his second home run of the season in 47 plate appearances. Given the Giants' outfield depth, it's unlikely Duggar will see a significant increase in playing time without an injury to one of the team's starters.

Brandon Crawford - Drives in sixCrawford went 3-for-6 with a home run, six RBI and three runs scored Thursday against the Reds.
ImpactCrawford played a big role in the team's offensive outburst Thursday, highlighted by a three-run homer in the fifth inning -- his 11th of the season. He delivered a two-RBI single two frames later to cap a very productive day at the plate. Crawford has been a surprise with the bat to begin the season as he holds a 144 wRC+ through 134 plate appearances.

Johnny Cueto - Cruises to third winCueto (3-1) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings to earn the win Thursday against the Reds.
ImpactCueto got 13 runs of support prior to exiting the game after completing five innings. In three starts since returning from a lat injury May 9, Cueto has progressively ramped up his pitch count and managed 89 pitches Thursday. The outing was also a step forward from a results perspective, as he had surrendered seven earned runs in 7.1 innings across his last two outings. Cueto currently lines up to take the mound Wednesday at Arizona.
