The Giants haven’t invented new ways to lose during the 2020 season, but they have found ways to hit new depths over each of the past four days.
Right-hander Trevor Gott blew his third save in three chances on Monday against the Angels as the reliever gave up a two-run, walk-off home run to second baseman Tommy La Stella in another demoralizing 7-6 defeat.
The Giants’ offense has played well and consistently given its bullpen opportunities to win games, but the club fell to 8-16 on Monday after another late meltdown.
Manager Gabe Kapler said postgame that he will look for a “softer landing spot” to find Gott work, but the Giants will likely look to give him a few days off before sending one of their most experienced relievers back to the mound.
