19 Marco Scutaro, 2B

Giants infielder Marco Scutaro continues to tear the cover off the ball, going 3 for 5 in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Rockies. Scutaro scored a run and drove in another, while striking out once.

Scutaro is batting .475 in the month of May, with 11 multi-hit games in 14 games. He currently has a 16-game hitting streak. 

Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro extended his hitting streak to 13 games Tuesday at Toronto with another three-hit performance. Scutaro has five three-hit games this season and three during his hitting streak.

Scutaro has managed 10 multi-hit games during the streak, including seven straight games. He's batting .491 (26 for 53) with one home run, two triples, four walks, five doubles, five RBI and 12 runs in his last 13 games.

Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro served as the DH in Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays.

"This is a great opportunity to give Scutaro a break," manager Bruce Bochy told MLB.com. "We're only here two days so I can't take it easy on a lot of them, but with Scutaro, it makes sense to give him a break."

Scutaro has hit in 12 straight contests and is batting .479 (23 for 48) with one homer and five RBI during that span.

Giants shortstop Marco Scutaro continued his hot hitting Sunday against the Braves with his sixth-straight, multi-hit performance in the 5-1 win.

Scutaro hit his first home run of the year in the fifth inning off starter Kris Medlen and added a ground-rule double in the sixth. He finished 2 for 5 with an RBI and run scored.

Scutaro has hit safely in 12-straight games and is batting .479 (23 for 48) with a home run, five doubles, two triples and five RBI over that span. He has nine multi-hit games during his streak.

Giants shortstop Marco Scutaro suffered through a miserable slump to open his season, as he was batting just .213 on April 28, after 23 games. For a light-hitting middle infielder who many assumed was a fluke in the second half last season, this could have been taken as a sign that he was reverting back to who his natural talent ability.

In nine games since, however, Scutaro has looked a lot more like the guy who was scorching hot for the Giants in their run to the playoffs last season. He is batting .486 in 35 at bats in that stretch, and has struck out just once in that time.

Given his recent turnaround, it is time to get Scutaro into the starting lineup, and just in time for a favorite Fantasy Week 7 (May 13-19). Scutaro gets four games at hitter-friendly Coors Field, as well as a matchup against the depleted Blue Jays, as Scott White notes in his Hit Parade column previewing the week. Fantasy owners should be confident that his hot stretch can continue for another week.
