The Giants lost their eleventh game in a row Wednesday afternoon:
Every second those two umpires stood behind the plate with their headsets on, waiting for their brethren in New York to rule, made the lump in the Giants’ throats grow, knowing their losing streak was going to grow as well, to heights unseen in San Francisco since Major League Baseball arrived in 1958.
Little suspense remained when crew chief Mark Wegner removed the headsets. “Safe,” he signaled.
The Braves had their ninth-inning run and a 2-1 victory Wednesday. The Giants had their 11th straight loss, establishing a San Francisco record and matching the worst in franchise history since 1951.
The Giants scored three runs or less in ten of the 11 games, and lost the other one 9-8. The games have been fairly close, a few lucky bounces here and there and they might have won two or three of them. With Buster Posey lost to surgery and Andrew McCutchen traded, there’s little offense left.
