The San Francisco Giants just keep finding ways to win. Another 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks at Oracle Park showed once again why this team refuses to quit. Willy Adames homered early, Patrick Bailey went deep for the second straight game, and Robbie Ray's steady presence on the mound continues to set the tone. The Mets’ continued struggles only add fuel to the fire, and right now the Giants smell blood in the water.

We also shine the spotlight on Christian Koss. The 27-year-old infielder has a chance to be a real candidate for a bigger role in 2026. With steady offense, clutch hits, and the kind of defensive versatility managers love, Koss has proven himself in a year when the infield picture has been anything but settled. Is he the most underrated piece of the Giants’ future?

Finally, we pump the brakes. Yes, the Giants are rolling, but they still have seven games against the Dodgers ahead. Bob Melvin’s job may feel safe in the moment, but a tough stretch could change the conversation quickly. With 17 games left, everything is still in front of San Francisco — the question is whether they can keep pushing or stumble when it matters most.
