SAN DIEGO — Finally on the other side of a three-week gauntlet against contender after contender, the Giants weren’t sure when their charter flight touched down here Wednesday night whether possible reinforcements might be on the way. The answer came the following morning: They fared too well to be in position to scoop up a surprise late-season gift.

By owning the worst record of any team that placed claims, Cleveland was able to add a trio of pitchers from the Angels: starter Lucas Giolito, right-handed reliever Reynaldo Lopez and left-handed reliever Matt Moore. A pair of outfielders, Harrison Bader, who was waived by the Yankees, and Hunter Renfroe, another Angels cast off, were claimed by the Reds.
