SAN FRANCISCO -- The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants meet for the third time already this season when they open a three-day, four-game series Friday night.
The four games were squeezed into three days because of a rainout in the first game of the clubs' previous series at San Francisco.
The teams have split six games over the first two series.
The Giants opened the season with consecutive 1-0 wins at Los Angeles, only to have Dodgers pitching dominate the next two games 5-0 and 9-0 to earn a 2-2 split.
