Giants drop series to Pirates in another feckless showing, 4-2

The Giants just lost their eighth game of the month, but things could be worse. At this time last year, the Giants had just lost their 11th game in a row which set a San Francisco era record for longest losing streak. They’ve already won four games this month. A 4-8 record is bad, but it’s a heck of a lot better than 0-11.

Okay, maybe that’s not the best consolation, but there wasn’t a whole lot in this game to be happy about. Andrew Suárez and Burch Smith looked sharp out of the bullpen, and Mauricio Dubón made some nice plays in the field, but that was about it.
