18 games in September: IV

The Giants tortured us all year with agonizingly close wins and infuriatingly close losses. Barry Zito kept The Streak alive but ultimately got no help from the bats as the Giants lost to 23-year old Daniel Hudson and the Diamondbacks 3-1 to fall two back of the Padres. Of course, no one was talking about The Streak on September 8th--the NL West race was far too exciting to think about anything else but wins and losses. The Padres had survived their 10-game losing streak and rebounded nicely by sweeping the hapless Dodgers in San Diego. They would host the Giants the next four nights.
