SAN FRANCISCO — On the other side of this home stand is the All-Star break. If all goes well, the Giants could enter it a resurgent bunch, recovered from their recent skid and well within reach of the playoffs. The other way? Well, it should make Farhan Zaidi’s options at the Aug. 2 trade deadline clearer, at least.
After being silenced all night, the Giants came within inches of tying the game in the eighth, after Arizona extended its advantage in the top half. They had already scored two to pull within 4-3 when Brandon Crawford stepped in with the bases loaded and one out, the tying run 90 feet away. But Crawford’s foot touched the first base bag a split second after the throw from shortstop Geraldo Perdomo for an inning-ending double play that was held up upon video review.
After the three-run third, Cobb settled down to complete six innings on a season-high 100 pitches and didn’t allow another hit, securing his sixth straight start with three or fewer earned runs. Since returning from the injured list on June 19, he has a 2.84 ERA. Belt shook his head as he jogged into second, after the ball bounced off the padding just below the brick wall of the arcade. It would have been a home run in all the other 29 ballparks. Followed by a groundout and a strikeout, Belt’s would-be homer went down as just another missed opportunity.
