The San Francisco Giants were officially eliminated from the National League West race Monday night despite defeating the Padres 4-2 in the opener of a three-game series. Any combination of a Giants win and a Padres loss -- remember, they are playing each other -- will clinch fourth place for the Giants in the division. The Giants will send Derek Holland (7-8, 3.46 ERA) to the mound against rookie Joey Lucchesi (8-8, 3.67 ERA) in a match of left-handers.
