Orange Friday the 13th turns bad for the SF Giants.

The SF Giants lost tonight 2 to 3 to the San Diego Padres and it was not because of bad luck. It was a function of a few bad plays. Failing to get down a sacrifice bunt and then having a runner picked off the bases in the 2nd inning shut down what looked to be a possible run scoring inning. Then the go ahead and winning run scored when a throw to the plate was offline. The catcher was pulled away just enough to allow a very nice slide into home plate to avoid the tag. So this game was won (by SD Padres) and lost (by SF Giants) by doing the "little things" well by San Diego and San Francisco "failing to execute" in a few crucial moments. This is the first loss of the season on Orange Friday (9 - 1).
