The San Francisco Giants were shutout in Sunday’s series finale against the San Diego Padres.
The loss itself—unextraordinary. 4-0 final with 3 of San Diego’s runs coming in the 1st inning. The offensive frames that followed for San Francisco had the flair of an audit.
Four Padres pitchers held them to four hits. Starter Seth Lugo gave up three over six innings. Wilmer Flores’ double in the 6th was the Giants first opportunity with a runner in scoring position—Joc Pederson subsequently flied out to end the inning. A walk and a hit by pitch would gift them another opportunity in the 7th—no dice.
