The Giants, who once held first place in the NL West and were 12 games above .500, are now 59-62 with postseason hopes dwindling by the day.

It didn’t just summarize this three-game series, one where the Giants (59-62) were swept by the Padres and lost their 13th home game in their last 14 tries — the first time that’s happened since the team moved to San Francisco.

There's a change atop the NL West standings, at least for now. The Padres hold a half-game lead over the Dodgers following their sweep of the Giants.
