While San Francisco doesn't hold the record for runs scored, the franchise does have the most wins in MLB history with 11,489, slightly ahead of long-time rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have 11,367 wins.
The Giants' offense has been on fire over the past three series, going 8-2 over the last 10 games with 76 total runs scored. While San Francisco has struggled with injuries to key starters over the past few weeks, young minor-league call-ups like Heliot Ramos and Brett Wisely have been filling in remarkably well.
At 28-27, the Giants are in the thick of the National League wild-card race and sit five games back of the Dodgers in the NL West.
