Five pitches into the Friday night's game, Johnny Cueto had a hit batsman, allowed a single and threw a wild pitch. On his 1oth throw he was called for a run-scoring balk.
Clayton Kershaw allowed a homer to a Giant who had not hit one since the first series of the season.
Aside from all that oddness, a game between two of the league's best pitcher was as tense and crisp as advertised - and settled by another Santiago Casilla failure. He allowed Justin Turner's leadoff homer in the ninth, good for a 3-2 Dodgers victory.
