A 2020 San Francisco Giants team that has made stomach-turning, late-inning collapses a theme of their season returns home Wednesday in last place in the National League West.
After four weeks of games, it’s not a surprise to see a team that entered the summer with an overmatched roster four games behind every other club in its division, but it is relatively surprising to see how the Giants landed here.
Much like the final three teams Bruce Bochy managed, the 2020 Giants under Gabe Kapler will be hard-pressed to finish the season with a winning record. They play in one of the toughest divisions in baseball and with a logjam at the top of the standings, each of the four other teams sees itself as a playoff contender.
