On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the San Francisco Giants' dominant sweep in Denver, as they blew past the 100-win mark, set the franchise's all-time home run record, and reduced their magic number to win the NL West to five. Any combination of Giants wins and Dodgers losses that sums to five means the Giants win the NL West.

The Giants dominanted in Denver in part thanks to excellent pitching. In 27 innings, Giants pitchers struck out 34 and walked one. Kevin Gausman was back to his dominant self, striking out 11 and walking none in six excellent innings. Gausman finding himself just before the playoffs would be a huge development for the Giants.

However, the club is also dealing with a major injury scare. Self-declared "Captain" Brandon Belt was hit by a pitch in the thumb while squaring to bunt on Sunday. Initial scans were inconclusive, so Belt is going to have x-rays in the Bay Area on Monday. The Giants absolutely need Belt right now, as he has been carrying the team offensively. Belt is in elite company with his power and on-base skills over the last couple of seasons, and his defense is a huge asset as well.
