So, it wasn’t the best day in the world for Bay Area sports. Just putting that out there.
The San Francisco Giants lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night, dropping the series opener 2-1. Chris Taylor hit a two-run home run off of Alex Wood in the third inning, and that was all the Dodgers needed. The Giants scrapped and clawed and tried to make a game of it, but they also found out the hard way that it’s difficult to score runs when you only have two hits,
They did score once, even though a hit wasn’t involved: two walks and an error by Trevor Bauer allowed the lead to be cut in half, but relying on gifts from an unfriendly pitcher is not exactly a sustainable way to win a ball game.
