SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants came within five outs of securing the National League West title, but a potential clinch celebration remained on ice following a stinging 3-2 loss to the Padres in 10 innings on Saturday afternoon at Oracle Park.
Jake Cronenworth delivered a two-out, go-ahead double off lefty reliever Jarlín García to break a 2-2 tie in the top of the 10th and snap the Giants’ seven-game winning streak, keeping their magic number at one.
San Francisco could still clinch its first division title since 2012 with a Dodgers loss to the Brewers on Saturday night.
Kevin Gausman fired seven brilliant innings of one-run ball, but the Giants’ taxed bullpen couldn’t protect a 2-1 lead.
