The Giants continue burrowing beyond rock bottom, but that’s not the only excavating being done.
You’d have to dig deep into the annals of 19th century MLB history to find the last time San Francisco had a worse homestand than the one that concluded with the Giants’ 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.
San Francisco went 0-6 against the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates, marking only the second time in franchise history the Giants have gone winless on a homestand of at least six games.
The only other time it happened was in April 1896, per Josh Dubow of the Associated Press.
Giants finish an 0-6 homestand after getting swept by the last-place Pirates. The only other time the Giants went winless on a homestand of 6+ games came in April 1896 when they lost 3 to the Phillies and 3 to the Boston Beaneaters, according to the Elias Sports Bureau

Over the course of the last 129 years of baseball, the Giants never managed to stoop to this level of dispair, but San Francisco’s recent woes snowballed into two-series disaster that now forever lives on in infamy.
The Giants have been in a freefall over the last six weeks, posting MLB’s worst record (13-24) since June 17 — the day San Francisco acquired star slugger Rafael Devers.
Horrendous offensive production has been the common denominator during the Giants’ pitiful slide in recent weeks and the team’s latest homestand followed suit as San Francisco only has mustered 12 total runs during its six-game losing streak.
