After winning two games in a row and clinching their fifth NL West title in a row, the Dodgers finally had the momentum back! But after tonight’s 2-1 loss to the Giants, I regret to inform you that they are doomed again.

Hyun-Jin Ryu gave up just a single run in today’s start, which would seem like it’s a positive, but he only lasted 2.1 innings. In the third, Ryu was hit by a line-drive comebacker on what appeared to be the left forearm and had to exit the game.
Ross Stripling completed the inning for him, getting the final two outs on eight pitches, but obviously the concern was Ryu’s health.
