When Cody Bellinger launched a grand slam off Madison Bumgarner it didn’t appear the Los Angeles Dodgers would need to summon Kenley Jansen out of the bullpen against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Bellinger’s blast put L.A. ahead 5-0 in the fifth inning, and they led 6-2 heading into the ninth.
After Caleb Ferguson worked a scoreless eighth inning, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts looked to lean on Yimi Garcia for the last three outs of the game. But Garcia allowed a leadoff double and walked the second and final batter he faced.
Jansen induced Brandon Crawford into a potential double play, but Max Muncy bobbled the ball as he went to throw to second base, and fired late to Jansen covering first.
