"This was an opportunity to get three above [.500], and it's a big swing from potentially three to back to one [above] again, and now we're going on the road," Melvin said after the loss. "We really thought we'd end this homestand more than one game above .500."
The old cliché is that it's hard to sweep anyone in Major League Baseball, but the White Sox had won just three of their last 29 games coming into Wednesday's finale and been outscored by nearly 100 runs in the second half.
Manager Bob Melvin knows that none of it will matter if his team doesn't stack wins together, and on Wednesday the Giants wasted a golden opportunity to get a needed sweep.
The Giants had about a month where the schedule was as easy as they could hope for, even facing tougher teams like the Dodgers and Braves.
