For a while, this was a close game. The Dodgers jumped out to an early lead, and even though Shaun Anderson was outclassed by the Dodger offense, he held the deficit at a point where the Giants could conceivably come back. Sometime around the fourth or fifth inning, you could have tricked yourself into thinking that this could be a game where all the Giants had to do was get a run or two against Clayton Kershaw and take advantage of the Dodger bullpen.
But the Giants never had a chance of winning this game.
