Dodgers edge Giants

LA 3  SF 2

The Giants lost last night and on Sunday as well and that’s the first time they’ve lost two in a row in the month of June. They are 16-8 with with one more game to play, that’s tonight in Los Angeles. Giants pitchers only gave up five hits to the Dodgers but three of them were homers and that was just enough. The Giants hit two homers off Trevor Bauer and had lots of other scoring opportunities but could not get the big hit. They were 0-for-13 with RISP! Anthony DeSclafani started and went five, giving up two homers to the first two batters and another in the 4th. The bullpen followed with three hitless frames to give the team a shot at a comeback but they fell short. Wilmer Flores had four hits including a double that missed being the game-tying homer by a few feet. LaMonte Wade, Jr. continues to rake and Brandon Crawdford launched a 444-footer, his longest homer since the Statcast era (2016).

Kevin Gausman gets the chance to even the series at 7:10 Pacific. He’ll face Walker Buehler.

Go Giants!
