SAN FRANCISCO -- Derek Holland's sweet season met with a bittersweet ending Monday night as the Giants absorbed their fifth consecutive defeat, a 5-0 loss to the San Diego Padres at AT&T Park.
Holland (7-9) worked five innings and allowed eight hits, matching his second-highest total of the season. Manuel Margot and Franmil Reyes rapped RBI singles in the second and third innings, respectively, before Jose Pirela homered in the fourth.
Overall, however, this was a season of redemption for Holland, who helped stabilize the Giants' starting rotation while injuries sidelined Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija, the club's projected top three starters.
