SAN DIEGO — After shrugging off a series of injuries to post baseball’s best record in the first half, the Giants hoped for even bigger things after the break. The first night back, however, wasn’t one they enjoyed.
Madison Bumgarner and the lineup looked flat at Petco Park, falling 4-1 to the Padres. The Giants had won the previous nine meetings between the teams this season.
Coming off perhaps the best regular season start of his career, Bumgarner had an unusually rough night. He walked Wil Myers in the first and then hung a slider to Yangervis Solarte.
