But the normally solid bullpen imploded, and the Giants used 11 runs over their final two at-bats to cruise to victory and end Bakersfield’s season.

Right-handers Adalberto Flores and Tyler Tufts combined to allow eight runs while walking six batters in just one inning of work.

Leadoff man Matt Lawson was 2-for-3 with a triple.
