The Dodgers battered Logan Webb for six runs but he pitched better than the other guy. LA's starter Dustin May gave up seven runs! The Giants had an 8-2 lead at one point but had to hang on for the win. Camilo Doval got a double play grounder to end the game.
This is a big series. The Giants need to gain some ground in the West and they need to show that they can play with the big boys. I was happy to see that Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee both had big games. Those bats need to wake up!
Just looking at the month so far, the Giants have played ten games in July and are 7-3, yet they've allowed 54 runs while scoring 45. There's been some rough patches with the pitching. Last night the team's two best hurlers (Webb and RandyRo) gave up nine hits and seven runs in seven frames. Granted, the Dodgers have a ridiculous lineup. But this team needs to pitch well to keep winning. I wonder if they'll look for some bullpen help (a lefty, perhaps?) before the deadline. Do you think they need another starter?
Landen Roupp gets the start this afternoon. Shohei Ohtani is listed as the opener for LA.
Go Giants!
