It resulted in the team finishing in sixth place in the National League West with a record of 62 wins and franchise-record 100 losses. This was the first, and as of 2025, the only time in the history of the franchise that they reached the triple-digit mark in losses. The Giants were managed by Jim Davenport, who was dismissed on September 18, after compiling a dismal 56–88 record, and Roger Craig, who guided the team to a 6–12 mark during the final 2½ weeks of the season. They finished 33 games behind the division champion and their main rival, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
