SF Giants inched closer to postseason elimination with ugly loss to San Diego Padres
SAN FRANCISCO — Kyle Harrison was scratched minutes before his scheduled start, but his replacements filled in nicely to give the Giants a chance at a win on Tuesday night. But the offense didn’t show in a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres.
With the loss, slim postseason pipe dreams have been reduced to a near impossibility with four games remaining on the schedule and one loss separating official elimination. They play the Padres once more before a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers to close a disappointing season. This loss was ugly. Padres starter Seth Lugo gave up just two hits heading into the ninth as he vied for his first career complete game — but manager Bob Melvin pulled him two outs into the ninth after Luis Matos drew a walk and Thairo Estrada reached on a ground ball. Closer Josh Hader struck out Wilmer Flores to end the game.
One of their three hits against Lugo came at a cost. J.D. Davis’ doubled off the wall and tried to stretch it to a three-bagger when right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. bobbled the ball, but Tatis’ relay to Kim was quick and Davis overshot third base and was tagged out.John Brebbia started as the opener in Harrison’s place and gave up a two-out solo home run to Juan Soto in the first inning.
Wood fell awkwardly trying to scoop up a check-swing ground ball by Xander Boegarts that resulted in a hit to put runners on the corners with one out. Second baseman Thairo Estrada’s throwing error on Ha-Seong Kim’s grounder scored Sullivan to make it 2-0.
