A Cody Bellinger grand slam and dominant start from Hyun-Jin Ryu appeared to be enough as the Dodgers held a four-run lead entering the ninth. After putting three runs across the board, the tying run stood 90 feet away. Kenley Jansen got Pablo Sandoval to ground into a double play, ending the game and giving LA the close 6-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
The Dodgers scored five of their six runs in the third inning, largely due to Bellinger’s bat. Russell Martin reached on an error, and then Hyun-Jin Ryu followed by walking on four pitches.
