SAN FRANCISCO — In the moments leading up to first pitch, the scoreboard at Oracle Park flashed an updated look at the NL wild card standings. The New York Mets continued their free fall, losing their eighth game in a row. The stakes in San Francisco were set; if the Giants won, they’d the third and final wild card spot was theirs.

If the Giants are going to usurp the Mets, they will have to wait at least one more day.

Following Friday’s dramatic walk-off win, San Francisco lost 13-7 to Los Angeles and remains 0.5 games back of New York for the final wild card spot.

Logan Webb endured one of his worst starts of the season, tying his season-low for innings (four) and season-high for earned runs (six).

Through one inning, the energy at Oracle Park mimicked that of a playoff atmosphere.
