Now that the San Francisco Giants have lost four games in a row, it’s safe to say they’re in a slump. And if it weren’t for the York Mets edging out the Chicaco Cubs Tuesday night, 2-1, the Giants would have lost their sole hold on MLB’s best record.
So, what’s going on?
It’s a combination of factors, both with the bats and on the mound. But ultimately, this cold spell is a showcase of the Giants’ weaknesses combined with the team’s heap of injuries finally taking a toll. They badly need to get Hunter Pence and Joe Panik back in the lineup.
