Giants waste another Johnny Cueto gem, suffer 50th loss in just 77th game

SAN FRANCISCO — There’s still another week until July rolls around, but the Giants are already halfway to 100 losses after just 77 games.

Even with Johnny Cueto on the mound and highly touted prospect Ryder Jones making his major league debut, the Giants couldn’t avoid loss No. 50 Saturday at AT&T Park. Jacob DeGrom pitched eight stellar innings and the New York Mets struck for two eighth-inning runs against the Giants’ bullpen to take a 5-2 victory.

It was San Francisco’s fourth straight defeat, 11th in 12 games and and their 17th loss in 22 games in June.
