    Evan Longoria and the rest of the San Francisco Giants came into their matchup against Stephen Strasburg with a grand total of 10 homers through their first 17 games -- worse than all but one other team in the majors.

    The Giants also ranked 29th of 30 clubs in runs, with just 47, and in batting average, at only .199, a big reason their record has been below .500 all season. Last time out, in a shutout loss, they managed all of one hit, a single by Longoria.

    For one night, at least, and against Strasburg, no less, the Giants looked like a modern-day Murderers' Row. Longoria, Brandon Beltand Steven Duggar homered off fastballs from the 2009 draft's No. 1 overall pick, and the light-hitting Giants powered their way to a 7-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
