Giants drop three bigly to Washington Nationals. [View all]

Outscored 21-5 in three games. Ouch.

Farhan Zaidi had been talking about getting one starter and maybe a shortstop at the trade deadline.

It's looking more like he needs three starting pitchers, and 6 hitters.

FWIW, the strategy of platooning righty versus lefty and vice versa, resulting in 5 runs in 3 games is not working well.
