The Giants entered the San Diego series clinging to slim playoff hopes and have lost 10 of their last 12 games, sitting 61-67, six games below .500. The team faces five weeks of effectively playing out the string and will travel to Milwaukee for three games against the league-leading Brewers. Right-hander Landen Roupp suffered a left knee sprain that may end his season. San Francisco led 2-0 through three innings but surrendered eight runs after defensive miscues, including a sequence involving Casey Schmitt and Luis Matos. Rookie Joel Peguero threw two scoreless innings and touched 102.1 mph.
The Giants were already clinging to their paper thin playoff hopes when they flew south to San Diego for a four-game series against the Padres. As things stand, San Francisco will spend the next five weeks playing out the string. With a sloppy 8-4 loss on Thursday at Petco Park, the Giants have lost 10 of their last 12 games. They're 61-67, a season-low six games below .500, and will now fly to Milwaukee for three games against the Brewers the best team in baseball.
With runners on first and second and no outs, the Padres' Freddy Fermin laid down an excellent bunt to the infield's left field. Third baseman Casey Schmitt barehanded the ball and fired to first, but the throw sailed wide and allowed a run to score. Jake Cronenworth, the runner on first, planned on stopping at third. That changed when right fielder Luis Matos failed to cleanly gathered the ball, giving Cronenworth a window to waltz home.
