SF Giants secure series loss vs. Cincinnati, which had MLB’s worst record before its past 2 wins.
CINCINNATI — Alex Wood spent a season here — not a very memorable one, mind you, missing most of it with a back injury — but that wasn’t why he would have had this game circled on his calendar.
On a day that Wood allowed only four hits over 5⅔ innings, it was Farmer who came up with the big one. Two Reds had reached when Farmer stepped in for his first-ever at-bat against Wood in the first inning. With one swing, Farmer earned eternal bragging rights and put the Giants into a 3-0 hole they couldn’t climb out of, launching a 1-2 sinker over the 379′ sign in left field.
Farmer got the upper hand on his friend, but he didn’t rub it in. He didn’t showboat. He rounded the bases with his head down, then crossed home plate for the Reds’ third run of the first inning. The way Wood rebounded from a tough first inning, even coming against one of the league’s worst lineups, should leave the Giants encouraged, even though he came one out shy of completing six innings for the first time this season.
Yet, Wood’s strong start Saturday — and its personal significance to him — was overshadowed by the Giants’ inability to manufacture almost any runs against the Reds, who owned MLB’s worst record entering the series, for the second straight game.
