Back when things weren't looking too good, they had just dropped 2 of 3 from the Pirates, sitting in last place at 7-8, and about to face 4 pretty good teams at the time in their next 16 games.
I had mentioned they needed to go at least 8-8 and just stay afloat and not get into a hole early in the division, well they more then exceeded that expectation and went off winning 12 of 16 and are just half game out of first.
Bats have come around and they have gotten some good pitching for the most part, hopefully they can keep it rolling this weekend and into the series against the Reds where they get ahead of them and take over first.
