The Nightcap - 9/5: Giants and A's Lose Series at Home

It was a frustrating night for the Giants, who were held without a hit through six innings by Trevor Cahill as the D-Backs rolled 6-2 to take the series in San Francisco. 

The A's had no better luck against the Angels, as they were swept on their home turf with a 7-1 loss on Wednesday afternoon. However, the main storyline will be Brandon McCarthy, who took a line drive to the head. Thankfully, he is expected to make a full recovery.

MLB Standings - Giants 4.5 games ahead of Dodgers in NL West, A's tied with Baltimore for Wild Card in AL.
