SAN FRANCISCO — Don Mattingly knew the Dodgers would be in a bit of a pitching bind while closer Kenley Jansen recovered from offseason foot surgery.
Getting swept by the division rival Giants simply confirmed the Los Angeles manager's fears.
A day after giving up the winning run in the ninth inning, the Dodgers let another game slip away late when Justin Maxwell singled home the winning run with one out in the 10th inning and San Francisco beat Los Angeles 3-2 on Thursday.
Six relievers combined to give up five hits and two runs following a solid outing from starter Mike Bolsinger in his Dodgers' debut.
