<P> In 2016 , the Giants started off strong , ending their first half at the All - Star break with the best record in the majors at 57 - 33 . However , due to a struggling bullpen in the second half , they just barely qualified for the 2016 postseason in the 2nd NL Wild Card spot . In the process they blew an 8 - game lead to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers , who were missing star pitcher Clayton Kershaw for 2 1 / 2 months . The Giants ' run at even - year championships ended with a game 4 loss to the eventual World Series champion Chicago Cubs in the 2016 NLDS . In Game 4 , the Giants led 5 -- 2 before they were eliminated after allowing four runs to the Cubs in the 9th . They previously held an MLB - record 10 - game winning streak when facing elimination in the postseason . Brandon Crawford , Joe Panik and Buster Posey all received Gold Glove awards at the close of the season . </P>
