The Giants are playing terribly right now. After a building some momentum heading into the All-Star break, San Francisco has returned from the hiatus lifeless. After losing 7-0 on Monday to the Diamondbacks, they fell to .500 (48-48) for the fourth time this season and extended their losing streak to five games.
Every game gives me a paragraph of Giants defensive mistakes. Austin Slater misplayed a flyball that was ruled a double. He also overthrew the cutoff man several times, allowing runners to advance to second on singles. Joey Bart dropped a foul popup. Austin Wynns, who replaced Bart halfway through the game in a double-switch, was tricked into trying to back pick Josh Rojas at second base, which allowed Rojas to steal third.
