The Vin Scully Ring of Honor pregame ceremony at Dodger Stadium delayed first pitch several minutes, and offense lagged far behind. It wasn’t for lack of effort from the San Francisco Giants, however. Julio Urias simply managed to navigate five scoreless innings, and the Dodgers and Giants went into extra innings a third time in their past five meetings.
Andrew Toles led off the bottom of the first inning with a base hit on the first pitch he saw from Jeff Samardzija. Toles was caught in no man’s land soon after and picked off, and Samardzija proceeded to retire the next 14 batters faced.
