Still winless in September, SF Giants’ playoff chances dwindling after fifth straight loss

When things are going right, the Nickelodeon-esque neon orange that covers most of Joc Pederson’s cleats is what’s most visible. The slime-green that smothers the bottom of the spikes is merely a contrast to the outfield grass.But the wind kicked up late Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field, and the bright green bottoms to Pederson’s cleats were all that could be seen as he fell face down in left field and let a would-be can of corn drop at the same speed as Giants’ sinking playoff chances.Five games into September, the Giants are in free fall.After 18 scoreless innings, their offense finally awakened Tuesday night against the Cubs, but their usually reliable bullpen blew it in an 11-8 loss, their fifth straight, dropping them just a game above .500 and ensuring that the Cubs will own the tiebreaker if they are able to catch them.
