Two teams squared off Thursday night in China Basin to open a four-game series, and one played crisply, energetically and efficiently as if it had every desire to make a run to the playoffs.

It wasn’t the Giants, who did little right in a lethargic 10-5 loss to the Pirates.

The Giants are seven games behind in both the division race and wild-card race with 46 to play, and that’s no place to be if a team is serious about October baseball.
