SF Giants recent production in key spots magnifies offensive woes

The SF Giants were one of the best teams with runners in scoring position earlier in the year. However, that pendulum has shifted wildly in the other direction. Since June 1, no team has performed worse with runners in scoring position, and by a comfortable margin.

In Friday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Giants had plenty of runners reach base. They tallied 11 hits, but were held hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position.

Unfortunately, that has been far too common lately. The lineup has now been at full strength for a few games, so it may take some time to hit its stride.
