PHILADELPHIA — Any momentum the Giants had after the weekend has completely dissolved over two nights at Citizens Bank Park.Maikel Franco hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 12th, handing the Giants a 5-4 loss in a game they led 4-0 into the seventh. George Kontos opened his second inning by plunking former Giants prospect Tommy Joseph. After a sacrifice bunt by reliever Luis Garcia and a walk, Jake Peavy replaced Kontos. He got a grounder to third, but Eduardo Nunez couldn't handle it or get a throw off, loading the bases. Franco lined a pitch into center, ending the long night. 10 Bay Area Athletes in Rio Right Now The Giants have lost the first two games of this road trip, and done so with Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto on the mound.Cueto struck out eight of the first 16 batters he faced and barely broke a sweat through the first six innings.
