Trevor Bauer continued to be plagued by his home run troubles, but the Los Angeles Dodgers put together a power display of their own to narrowly defeat the San Francisco Giants, xx-xx. The win pulled L.A. to 2.5 games back of San Francisco in the National League West standings.
Mookie Betts and Max Muncy got the Dodgers going early with back-to-back home runs off Anthony DeSclafani in the first inning. It was Betts’ fourth leadoff home run and 10th overall this season, and the 16th long ball for Muncy.
It also marked the sixth time in Dodgers franchise history they hit back-to-back homers to start a game in either the top or bottom of the first inning.
