Giants follow Bochy’s 1,000th win with shutout loss to journeyman lefty

NEW YORK — When the Giants gathered in the visiting clubhouse after Tuesday’s series opener against the Mets, they doused Bruce Bochy in beer and proposed a toast following the manager’s 1,000th win with the club.

They had no reason to keep the party going on Wednesday.

The Giants (25-35) snapped a three-game win streak in a 7-0 loss to the Mets as journeyman left-hander Jason Vargas needed 117 pitches in a complete game shutout. Vargas, a 14th-year veteran, tossed the 11th shutout of his career and his first since June 2, 2017 when he blanked the Cleveland Indians while pitching for the Kansas City Royals.
