The San Francisco Giants are doing their best to make a last-second push at the playoffs despite their increasingly thin chances. San Francisco (77-69) has won eight of 11 while batting .307 with 6.1 runs per game and a 2.85 ERA, but a seven-game losing streak prior to that stretch may be too difficult to recover from. The Giants are 7 1/2 games back of NL West-leading Los Angeles and eight out in the wild-card race.
