The San Francisco Giants lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight, 4-2, dropping the series to their seemingly unstoppable division rivals.
The game started off promisingly, with Austin Slater hitting a leadoff double. Slater would go on to be one of only two Giants players to get hits until the ninth inning, getting on base in his first three plate appearances (and, well, more on the fourth one later).
But the rest of his team just couldn’t get anything going against the Dodgers’ Julio Urías, who had a strong start tonight, allowing only two hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings.
