Giants play like nincompoops, lose 4-0

The Giants lost 4-0, but this game had no business being this close. The score only created the illusion of it being a winnable game for the Giants, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Giants were lucky this wasn’t an 8-0 loss. When the Giants were on defense, every inning not pitched by Trevor Gott was a miserable slog. When the Giants were on offense, every inning was a quick, breezy affair punctuated with singles that turned into outs.

The Giants needed 213 pitches to get their 27 outs; the Nationals needed just 113.
