After salvaging their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Los Angeles Dodgers have an opportunity to build some momentum against the National League basement-dwellers San Francisco Giants, who hold the second-worst record in the Majors at 6-13.
The Giants have lost four consecutive games and will be without ace Madison Bumgarner for what some believe may be upwards of two months. Bumgarner suffered bruised ribs and a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder as a result of a dirt bike accident last week.
He was scheduled to duel with Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday.
