SAN FRANCISCO — It’s not just that the Giants went 1-6 on their homestand this week. It’s that they often never even gave themselves a chance.
For the fourth time in seven games at Oracle Park, the Giants on Sunday never held a lead as they allowed two runs in the first inning and three more in the second in a 6-2 loss to Arizona, as the Diamondbacks completed the three-game series sweep and handed San Francisco its season-high fifth straight loss.
The Giants were outscored 34-8 in the series, and 54-20 during the seven-game homestand. Sunday, the Giants had 10 hits but Buster Posey’s RBI double in the first inning to score Joe Panik, and Panik’s single to score Mike Yastrzemski in the seventh accounted for their only runs.
