If Friday night was any indication of how the Giants and Dodgers rivalry will go in 2021, we’re in for a wild ride. It provided every bit of a playoff atmosphere that we come to expect as fans over the years between these 2 NL West teams.
Friday was also Trevor Bauer’s first taste of the rivalry as a member of the Dodgers. And boy did he ever embrace it. Bauer tossed 6.1 innings and was hit with just 1 unearned run. He punched out 11 Giants and gave up just 2 hits all night.
