The San Francisco Giants have started to make a move in the NL West standings as they push back toward .500 on the season. The Giants have won seven of their last ten games and took the first two games of the series in Minnesota heading into the finale on Wednesday afternoon. On Wednesday, the Giants' defense made three errors to extend innings and never recovered from an early deficit to lose out on a chance to sweep the first-place Twins. Starter Anthony DeSclafani went five innings and allowed seven runs, only four of which were earned, to drop to 3-4 on the season.
