The San Francisco Giants are suddenly playing awful baseball. After losing two of three in Boston, the Giants were swept in a four-game series in Philadelphia.

The San Francisco Giants had so many opportunities to win last night's game. But time and time again, the Giants sustained self-inflicted wounds and lost by one run to the red-hot Phillies.
