LOS ANGELES–Before Monday’s series-opener against the Dodgers, a local reporter asked Giants manager Bruce Bochy to share his thoughts on a vaunted lineup filled with power hitters.
“I don’t want to think about it,” a candid Bochy admitted.
After the Giants’ opening weekend in San Diego, Bochy didn’t want to think about his own lineup, either.
The Giants, however, insisted they would break through and on Monday, the lineup engineered a come-from-behind 4-2 win against a suspect Dodgers bullpen.
San Francisco couldn’t generate any offense in five scoreless innings against Dodgers starter Julio Urías, but when reliever Joe Kelly entered to start the sixth, Giants first baseman Brandon Belt greeted him with a solo home run to cut a two-run deficit in half.
