Zito had an ineffective second half in 2010. Before the All-Star break, he was 7-4 with a 3.76 earned run average. After the All-Star break, he was 2-10 with a 4.70 ERA. In his final 12 games, he went 1-8 with an ERA of 6.14.
He particularly struggled on October 2, 2010, in the Giants's penultimate regular-season game against the San Diego Padres. A win would have clinched the National League West title for San Francisco. But Zito walked home two runs, lasted three innings and was literally booed off the field by the San Francisco home crowd. The Padres won the game 4-2, which forced the Giants to win the division title on the final day of the season.
Right hander Tim Lincecum won four playoff games, including two in the 2010 World Series, as the Giants won their first world championship since 1954.
Since the divisional playoff system began in 1969, the San Francisco Giants have appeared in the postseason 11 times -- in 1971, 1987, 1989, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016. They won world championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014. Before 1969, the Giants won the 1962 National League pennant in a three-game playoff with the Los Angeles Dodgers. They advanced to the World Series, but lost to the New York Yankees in seven games.
If the Giants and the Padres are deadlocked for the National League West title at the end of the 2010 regular season, a one-game playoff would be played in San Diego on Monday, Oct. 4.
