With the Dodgers reeling after three losses in a row to finish the Rockies series, they came home to Los Angeles and start the series with the Giants 3-6 in their last 9 games. Unfortunately that continued, as though the Dodgers held the lead through eight, the pen blew it again late by giving up four in the ninth for a 5-2 loss.
