For the third straight game against the Padres, the Giants fell behind early, mounted a late comeback only to fall short and lose by a run in the end.
Alex Wood LHP- 4.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 5.10. A bit better than his last two starts but still roughed up for third straight start.
The lineup managed just 6 hits, 2 walks and 2 HBP's. There were no multihit games. Austin Wynns C and Evan Longoria PH hit doubles.
Alex Young LHP and Scott Alexander LHP pitched scoreless innings and seem to have stabilized the left side of the bullpen for now.
Lamonte Wade Jr 1B(.177) and Mike Yastrzemski CF(.203) went a combined 0 for 7 with 4 K's at the top of the lineup. If you are looking for places the Giants can upgrade this winter, those two would be a great start. Sad but true.

The loss left the Giants with a double-digit deficit in the Wild Card race. In other words, they are not in the race anymore.

Churn Watch:
The Giants selected the contract of Andrew Knapp C to replace Joey Bart C who is on the concussion IL and at this point there is no need to rush Joey back. Yermin Mercedes UT has options so he went to AAA Sacramento but stays on the 40-man roster. Andrew Vasquez LHP was DFA'd to open up a 40-man roster spot.

The Giants get a day off at home to lick their wounds before facing the Phillies. Alex Cobb RHP gets the first start Friday against Kyle Gibson RHP.
