.125 with runners in scor- ing position, as the Giants did on their last road trip? How about not getting a single at-bat with runners in scoring position? The Giants (59-42) man- aged just three hits in eight innings against former A's right-hander Dan Straily, including Conor Gillasp- ie's home run that was up- held following a review in the third inning. Bochy's referendum on the state of his offense came in the eighth in- ning when, in a rare cir- cumstance, a starting pitcher hit for himself while the Giants trailed by a run with four outs to go. Bumgarner ripped a two-out single, but pinch runner Ramiro Peña was stranded. "He's a threat and he gets his swings off, and he's going for it," said Bo- chy, whose election to stay with Bumgarner instead of a left-handed matchup wasn't a rousing a vote of confidence in Jarrett Parker. The Giants' 2-9 stretch since the break is remi- niscent of patches of 2014, when they banked a ton of victories in April and May before looking like the NL's worst team over 5-18 and 5-13 stretches from June to early August. The solace the Giants can take from that: they won the World Series that year. "We're on the younger side, some of us, but we've got a lot of guys who have been through some adver- sity," Bumgarner said. "We just have to find a way through it and keep going." Playing cleaner games will help. The Reds tied it with an unearned run in the fifth inning cour- tesy of Pagan — the first that Bumgarner allowed at home in 20 innings dat- ing back to a start on June 25 against the Phillies. Brandon Phillips hit a one-out single and Eu- genio Suarez followed with a line drive to left that Pa- gan, perhaps fighting the sun, drifted back to catch before abruptly sticking out an arm as the ball de- flected off his glove for a two-base error. It was Pagan's fifth er- ror this season — his most since 2012. The player the Giants moved because he had become a liability in center field is rapidly be- coming a liability in left. "The ball was hit hard and it's a tough play," Bo- chy said. "I didn't talk to him (to ask) whether he lost it in the sun." Bumgarner (10-6) had an avenue to escape the inning if he had pitched around No. 8 hitter Tucker Barnhart, which would have loaded the bases for Straily with one out. But Barnhart coaxed a sacrifice fly to right field and Phil- lips trotted home with the tying run. Bruce put the Reds ahead in the seventh, si- lencing the crowd while hitting the first pitch of the inning into the arcade. It was his fourth homer of the series, and the 18th that Gi- ants starting pitchers have allowed in 11 games since the All-Star break. The Reds' eight home runs was the most the Gi- ants have ever allowed in a three-game series at AT&T Park. "The way he's going right now, he's not going to foul it off," Bumgarner said of Bruce. Giants FROMPAGE1 "I understand how dif- ficult it is to win every week," he said. "It doesn't matter if it's a major. It doesn't matter where it is. It doesn't matter if it's in the U.S., in Asia, in Europe, in Africa. It is tough to win. So that's great for the game of golf, and the only thing I can do is just keep giv- ing myself chances and just wait for it. "Hopefully, it will hap- pen," he said. "If it doesn't happen, it's not going to change my life. I'm not go- ing to go in a cave and stay there until I die." Golf goes in cycles, and maybe this one favors Gar- cia. In only three years dat- ing to 1960 have the four Grand Slam events been won by players who previ- ously didn't have a major, most recently in 2011 and 2003. The last four major champions dating to Jason Day last year at the PGA Championship had never won a major. "I would love to make it five in a row," Garcia said. Also, all but one of the last 12 winners of the PGA Championshiphadwonear- lier in the year. Garcia won the AT&T Byron Nelson. The tiniest smile ap- peared on Garcia's face when he was introduced Wednesdayasplayinginhis 18th PGA Championship. Was it really that long ago when he closed his eyes and hit that shot out of the tree in 1999 at Medinah to fin- ish one shot behind Woods? Three first-time major winners this year give him hope, especially Stenson, a close friend. "He's been giving him- self a lot of chances, and he finally waited for that day where everything clicked," Garcia said.
