The Dodgers can’t buy a win right now. Their bullpen — given little room for error again — surrendered another ninth inning run to follow the script that has played itself out over the past few days.
Strong starting pitching, followed by a struggling bullpen that gives up the lead, with the offense giving nearly no support.
It was the fifth straight night Los Angeles came out on the losing end, falling to the Giants by the score of 2-1.
The loss drops the Dodgers to third place outright, two games behind the Diamondbacks in the NL West and one game behind the Rockies.
