The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to five games by defeating the San Francisco Giants in the first meeting between the two rivals this season, and now they can guarantee a series win at Oracle Park.
Doing so would possibly pull L.A. into a tie for first place in the National League West standings. They enter play one game back of the Giants and San Diego Padres, who are both atop the division standings at 28-17.
The Dodgers figure to be in good position as they hand the ball to Walker Buehler. He’s the only Dodgers starter to go at least six innings in every outing this year, and he’s 2-0 with a 2.
