The Giants began the strangest season in Major League Baseball history with a game against their archrivals that was neck to neck through six innings.
In the seventh, the Dodgers torched the Giants bullpen for five runs and batted around. Final score: Los Angeles 8, San Francisco 1.
Here’s what we learned after one game:
— Some players wore face masks or neck gaiters, but lowered them while on the field. Coaches and managers stayed masked, even when giving interviews.
— The lack of power hitting is going to be an issue. The Giants had eight hits, but not one for extra bases.
