It wasn't long ago that the San Francisco Giants were struggling to find reliable offense and were in last place after a series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Hunter Pence contributing immediately upon return and the club arriving home from a successful road trip, those concerns seem to have diminished and the Giants have climbed back to second place as they begin a three-game set with the Dodgers on Tuesday night. San Francisco ended April by losing two of three in Los Angeles and found itself in last place with a 9-13 record while averaging 3.00 runs and batting .247. Sunday's 9-8 victory was the Giants' second straight with 16 hits, and Pence was 2 for 5 with a home run in his second game back.
