SAN FRANCISCO — There’s no way of knowing if the 2019 Giants have hit rock bottom, but the depth they sunk to on Friday represented a historic low.
A slumping Arizona Diamondbacks offense torched Giants pitchers on Friday as they set a new record for the most runs scored by a visiting club in the history of Oracle Park in an 18-2 blowout.
The Giants have suffered six lopsided defeats of five or more runs in the month of May, but Friday’s demolition was in a class all by itself.
After the D’backs scored eight runs in the first four innings, the possibility of seeing infielder Pablo Sandoval pitch represented the only shred of suspense left inside Oracle Park.
