SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants’ ability to stay in contention for one of the National League’s two wild card spots might hinge on whether they can turn things around at their home park.
Yes, that’s a bit unusual for a team that’s averaged over 45 wins per season at China Basin over the last decade.
Thursday’s game against the New York Mets was the first of seven straight at home for the Giants, who came into the game with a dismal 20-26 record at Oracle Park. Among NL teams, only the Miami Marlins (18-32) have struggled more on home soil.
