It was “Bark in the Park” on Wednesday at PetCo Park, where the San Francisco Giants were dogged by their inability to get hits, retrieve a ball successfully, and handle their sticks in a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. It was a two-game sweep where the Padres were all very good boys.
Elias Diaz homered and scored two runs, while Giants-killer Fernando Tatis, Jr. went 3-for-4 as the Padres finished with 10 hits and two walks, getting runners on in seven of their eight innings. By contrast, the Giants struck out 12 times, including twice in the ninth as Padres closer Robert Suarez slammed the door.
