SAN FRANCISCO—With just enough drama to be worthy of the series, the Dodgers dropped the San Francisco Giants 6-3, at Oracle Park Saturday.
Early in the first inning, Max Muncy set the tone by sending a 1-1 pitch by Scott Kazmir into China Basin, setting off the kayakers into a frenzy.
The Dodgers attacked again in the fifth inning when Austin Barnes hit a home run into center field, sending a Giant fan into a nasty spill as he attempted to field the ball.
Beaty and Peters collectively added two more runs in the seventh innning, They added two more runs in the eighth, and got a scare as the Giants answered with a two run homer, which was as close as they got.
Speaking of scare, reliever Alex Vezia brought the fear as a walked two batters and gave up a home run in the eighth. he retired the next three batters, including Crawford, who was at 3-0.
Buehler is actually undefeated since 2019, and the streak continues.
The Dodgers face the Giants one more time tomorrow afternoon at 1:05 p.m.
