Blach, Belt, Arroyo help Giants beat Dodgers ... again
All kinds of reasons were attributed to the Giants’ unexpected slow start to 2017, and somewhere high on the deficiency list was the lack of success in the No. 1 spot in the rotation.
With or without Madison Bumgarner.
The Giants were 0-8 in four games started by Bumgarner and four started by his replacement, Ty Blach, who helped end the streak on a chilly Tuesday night with seven impressive innings during a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers.
It was the Giants’ fifth straight win and sixth in seven games and put them in position for their first series sweep of the season. All they must do in Wednesday’s matinee is solve a fellow named Clayton Kershaw.
