GIANTS FALL OUT OF NL WILD-CARD SPOT AFTER D-BACKS BEAT RANGERS

If the Giants plan to play deep into October, they’ll have work to do over the next six weeks. San Francisco dropped out of a National League wild-card spot after the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Texas Rangers 6-3 at Chase Field on Tuesday night. The Giants, of course, lost earlier Tuesday to the Philadelphia Phillies in walk-off fashion. The Giants (65-61) now are a half-game behind the Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs for the final two wild-card spots. The Phillies (69-57) are 3.5 games up on the Cubs and D-backs for the top wild-card position.
