The San Francisco Giants (71-63) just fell 4-3 in 11 innings to the Houston Astros (44-90), meaning they lost four out of seven to the worst team in baseball. And I mean by far the worst team in baseball. No other team even has 80 losses. The Astros have 90. In August. So, needless to say it's been a pretty sorry performance for the Giants lately. Two of the three they did win against Houston came in extra innings.
The Giants are now four back of the Arizona Diamondbacks (75-59) in the NL West. The D-Backs lost six in a row about a week ago to the Phillies (83-46) and Braves (79-54), but don't seem to lose at all to anyone else. They just completed a sweep of the San Diego Padres (60-74), meaning that Arizona has now won six in a row. The Giants will have to hope the Snakes cool off a bit or there may be no return trip to October. The big head-to-head series between the two is next weekend in San Francisco and it looks like the Giants will have to at least take two of three and probably sweep in order to feel good about things. The odds of that right now don't look so great.
