Giants swept by Twins to finish off 2-6 road trip, tied for season-high 7.5 games back of playoff position.
The Giants’ postseason hopes died some time after 1 p.m. PT on Sunday.
The Giants failed to win any of their three series on the eight-game swing that ended Sunday in a sweep at the hands of the Twins, a team that entered this series losers of six straight and teetering on the edge of the American League wild card chase. Starter Jakob Junis didn’t make it out of the inning as he served up a double to Max Kepler that drove in Luis Arráez from first and kicked off a stretch of five straight two-baggers that ultimately ended Junis’ day. José Miranda traded places with Kepler, then Nick Gordon with Miranda, before the Giants went to the bullpen and the Twins doubled twice more.Junis was ultimately tagged with six earned runs over 4⅓ innings, raising the starting staff’s ERA to 7.
San Francisco’s bats warmed up enough Sunday to load the bases in the fourth and put runners on second and third the following inning but remained too lukewarm to muster more than three runs out of the prime scoring opportunities.
