Since their playoff chances peaked at 80.4% on Aug. 4, the Giants have gone 9-21, fourth-worst winning percentage in the majors.
The Giants owned the third-best record in the National League, as many as 13 games above .500, when their summer malaise set in. It quickly cost them that claim, sinking them fourth, then fifth and then sixth. Soon, out of the playoff picture altogether. Now extending into fall, suffering their sixth loss Wednesday in six tries since the calendar turned to September, it has robbed them of even the minimalist requirement for success, winning more times than they lose.
They were spurned in free agency by Seiya Suzuki two winters ago and destroyed by him in the first week of September. The Japanese outfielder, whom the Giants aggressively pursued but opted for the Cubs’ five-year, $85 million offer, finished the series with eight hits in 13 at-bats with two home runs.
Unlike their loss Monday night, the Giants did get some runners into scoring position. But one, Paul DeJong, ran himself into an out at home plate, breaking on contact on Austin Slater’s line drive right off Wicks’ leg. He picked the ball up, hurried it home and easily got DeJong.
