Giants establish new S.F. record with 36 scoreless innings..

The San Francisco Giants shut out the Cincinnati Reds Thursday to set a new franchise record (S.F. era) with 36 consecutive scoreless innings pitched.

The Giants have been setting all sorts of franchise records lately, from the pitching led by Cain's perfect game to Melky's hitting, who leads MLB in hits and multi hit games.

Will this translate into success in October? We'll see, but the Giants can feel comfortable knowing it's pitching that wins championships...
