The Los Angeles Dodgers capped off a successful homestand with a 3-1 win to complete a series sweep of the San Francisco Giants. L.A. has won five in a row and are within 1.5 games of San Francisco for first place in the National League West.
Giants starter Kevin Gausman ran into early trouble as he walked Max Muncy, hit Justin Turner and put on Cody Bellinger to load the bases with one out in the first inning. Gausman nearly wiggled out of the jam by relying on his patented splitter that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said is among the game’s most elite pitches.
