Cody Bellinger’s first-inning drive sounded like a home run Sunday, the ear-splitting crack of the bat echoing through Dodger Stadium and the ball whistling through the cool air of a 65-degree afternoon to deep center field, where it died on the warning track.
Max Muncy barreled up a ball in the sixth inning that many in the crowd of 49,541 thought was gone. It was caught on the warning track. Justin Turner followed with a drive into the left-field corner that was plenty deep to clear the wall. It hooked foul.
The Dodgers were reminded in a 4-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants how difficult it can be to maintain a long-distance relationship.
