Here's how the last eight innings began in Wednesday's game:
2nd: Brandon Crawford home run
3rd: Luis Gonzalez single
4th: Darin Ruf walk
5th: Kevin Padlo (who?) single
6th: Wilmer Flores single
7th: Mike Yastrzemski single
8th: Joey Bart walk
9th: Ruf single
Eight leadoff runners. One scored. Those six hits above were the Giants’ only hits. That's how you lose 9-1.
The Giants average 4.65 runs per game, a top-five mark in the NL. Consider that, and this: They've scored two runs or less in one-third of their games. Runs are coming in bunches. And then they're not.
