Coming into this series, the Dodgers had scored 42 runs and hit 14 home runs in their first four games. The Giants had scored just five runs and Evan Longoria’s solo home run on Friday was their sole dinger. Looking at that, this series should have been rout. The Giants lost the series, but they played competitive baseball against the Dodgers. They were only outscored 13-12, and the Dodgers needed a broken bat bloop to beat win tonight.
Steven Duggar was supposed to get the start in center field while Kevin Pillar was supposed to start in right.
