The Dodgers entered tonight in a mess of a slump, losers of their last five games and just desperately trying to avoid a sweep against the rival Giants. After the Dodgers got an excellent starting performance and worked so hard to scratch across runs, a new name in the pen blew it again, but thankfully they ended up edging out the Giants in extras, 4-3.

Hyun-Jin Ryu made his first start since May 2, when he exited after just 30 pitches and recording four outs due to a significant groin injury. Amazingly, he pitched as if nothing had happened.
