After the Dodgers had their win streak snapped to end the series against the Diamondbacks, they headed to San Francisco to start the series against the rival Giants, which is a significant mismatch on paper. However, it’s never that simple when it comes to this matchup, and the same applied tonight in a quiet 2-1 loss.

Drew Pomeranz entered today with an ERA of 8.08, so of course he shut down one of the highest-scoring offenses in baseball, limiting them to three singles over five shutout innings.
After he escaped a bases loaded, one out situation in the 1st thanks to back-to-back strikeouts, he was never threatened again.
