I missed most of Friday night’s game.
I repeatedly checked my phone throughout the contest, smiling as my longtime favorite Giant, Mauricio Dubón, hit a double and then a home run off of Clayton Kershaw.
I wasn’t able to get to a TV until the eighth inning, when I was blessed with two innings of the Giants clinging to a lead I was positively sure they’d let slip through their fingers.
They didn’t. As Kenny detailed beautifully, the Giants hung on to beat the Dodgers 5-4, rudely sending the Angelinos, who had so kindly applauded Bruce Bochy just hours before, home unhappy.
