The San Francisco Giants who need just three more loses to have a 100 loss season they lost their latest game on Wednesday afternoon at Chase Field in Phoenix 4-3 marking their 97th loss for 2017. The Giants return back to San Francisco to end the season at AT&T Park against the San Diego Padres Friday night. the Padres would have to sweep the Giants at home to get them to arrive at exactly 100 loses.

We’ll see, the Giants should be able to win at least one of those three home games. Their shutting down starter Madison Bumgarner to get some rest and starter Jeff Samardijza is shutting it down too. This Giant team will have no ten game winners this year. With Bumgarner he had a great outing in Los Angeles last Saturday night and got the win. While no one is admitting anything the dirt bike injury is always something that’s been brought up as to why Bum will sit this Friday game out. Madison says he feels alright and manager Bruce Bochy said he will skip Bumgarner to start Chris Stratton 3-4. Bumgarner has gone 4-9 but had a respectable ERA of 3.32.
