The only thing chillier than the weather last night in game one of the much anticipated National League Division Series between the Dodgers and Giants was LA’s offense. In the shutout loss to the Giants, the Dodgers hit .156 (5-for-32) with just two extra base hits all night. The Dodgers went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and struck out eleven times without drawing a walk.
The biggest area of concern proved to be LA’s 5 through 7 hitters – Matt Beaty, AJ Pollock, and Cody Bellinger – who combined for a 0-for-9 night with 5 of the club’s 11 strikeouts on the night.
