Giants miss out on first place — lose 5-2

Giants fans became A’s fans Tuesday night — big supporters of Sonny Gray, Josh Reddick and the other Oakland folks who suited up at Dodger Stadium.

The fast-charging Giants were a half-game behind the first-place Dodgers with a chance to assume the National League West’s top spot for the first time since May 29.

The A’s did their part, beating the Dodgers 2-0. The Giants didn’t do theirs, however. Their 5-2 loss to the Brewers kept them in second place, a rare downer for a team that had won 12 of its past 13 games.

“There’s a lot of baseball left, and there’s no point in looking at the standings because they don’t mean anything right now,” manager Bruce Bochy said.
