The Giants were swept by Arizona and outscored 15-6 over the two-game series.
PHOENIX — With each passing game, the San Francisco Giants’ path to the postseason gets narrower.
If their four-game set at Colorado to open this road trip represented a golden opportunity, these two games in Arizona might as well have been a last stand. They were swept and outscored 15-6 in the two-game series, went 1-5 over the six-game stretch and will take a .500 record with them to Dodger Stadium for the last leg of their final road trip. FanGraphs pegged their postseason odds at 5.7% before their latest loss.
This was a series between teams going in opposite directions. The streaking Diamondbacks jumped the Cubs for second place in the wild card standings with three straight wins before the Giants arrived in town and improved to 14-7 against postseason contenders since Aug. 21. The Giants fell to 6-12 in September and haven’t played winning baseball for a whole month since June.
For the second straight game, the Giants got on the board with a first-inning home run, this time from LaMonte Wade Jr. in the first at-bat of the game. But Carroll immediately evened the score in the bottom half, and the Giants mustered just two more hits the rest of the game. Arizona finished with 14.
