SAN FRANCISCO -- If the Giants are going to get back into the postseason chase in a serious way, they are going to have to find their missing offense.
Thursday's 10-5 loss in a series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at AT&T Park was an ugly one, and not just because of the two errors and five unearned runs that scored in the seventh inning when the Pirates blew the game open.
San Francisco didn't have a hit in the first four innings, then got three in the fifth off Pirates starter Ivan Nova, a triple by Alen Hanson driving in one run and setting up another.
