Live Blogging: Dodgers Face Los Gigantes at AT&T Park

well, that was painful. Perhaps it’s always that way when the Dodgers and giants meet.

But on a typically cold spring evening, the San Francisco Giants overcame  a 2-0 deficit, then a 3-2 deficit to load the bases in the bottom of the tenth, to take a 3-2 advantage in a four game series with the Dodgers. The game saw a pinch hit home run in the es from Michael Morse and a wild tenth inning that had it occurred earlier, might have resulted in a fistful of runs rather than the end of the game.

A seeming pitchers duel disintegrated in to a glaring display of the Dodgers startling weakness. Former Giant Sergio Romo  left after one batter, and had the field contained more bases, Ross Stripling seemed ready to allow every Giant a chance to stand on a base. Stripling took the loss and Derek Law garnered the win for the Giants.

The two teams will meet again  tomorrow afternoon  for a 12:45 game. Here’s how we blogged  it:

 

AT&T PARK, SAN FRANCISCO—In the third game of a four-game series, the Doyers will send Alex Woods to the mound this evening against Los Gigantes. Johnny Cueto will be throwing for San Francisco. 

The two teams are muddled up in the middle of the NL West, but a Dodgers-Giants game is always a good place to make a statement.
