Giants win streak fuels push to Dodgers as 1966 milestone nears
Fourth-place Giants ride a 10 game win streak, their best run since 1966, to within striking distance of the Dodgers. Jim Barr fires a three hit shutout, Frank Robinson shifts him to the rotation, and Joe Morgan headlines a surge that has San Francisco soaring with strong starting pitching and stingy relief. Candlestick draws a robust crowd as the club climbs from 14 games back to a few games off the pace.
