SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants and Dodgers had to wait longer than anyone expected, but after a rare spring storm pushed Saturday’s Cactus League opener back more than two hours, the 2020 baseball season has begun.
Months after sending Bruce Bochy into retirement with a miserable 9-0 loss to the Dodgers, the Giants welcomed new manager Gabe Kapler into the dugout against the same team and dropped a 10-4 game that again highlighted the gap in talent between the two sides.
