Slip 'N Slide | Dodgers 9, Giants 5

The season did not slip away Tuesday, but it sure felt like it. The Padres added a generational player. The Dodgers reminded the Giants of the generational players they already have.

And the Giants traded for J.D. Davis.

If you had any doubt about the gap between the Giants and the teams in front of them, Tuesday provided a sobering reminder.

The Dodgers didn't trade for another superstar—and they didn't need to. The Giants slipped and slid their way all over the field, fell behind 6-0, teased a comeback, then disintegrated. No single trade would have prevented that.
