Error costly as Nationals prevent Giants’ sweep



The Giants' 10-game postseason win streak could have ended so many ways. The permutations in baseball are almost endless. Surely a bad decision on the mound by Madison Bumgarner was not high on anyone's list of possiblities.

That is how it went down at AT&T Park in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Nationals in Game 3 of their Division Series.

Washington had not scored in 21 consecutive innings when it turned a bunt and a wild throw by Madison Bumgarner into a three-run seventh inning, which ended Bumgarner's postseason shutout streak at 22 innigns, the second-longest in franchise history.

Bryce Harper added a homer against Jean Machi in the ninth. Brandon Crawford's ninth-inning sacrifice fly was too little, too late, and the series continues.

about not making the all star team, and Bochy put him on the team instead of a deserving Ryan Zimmerman. I'll never forget that.
