Giants stage four-run rally in ninth to beat Dodgers 5-2

For most of this game, it looked like a song and dance you know almost too well: Madison Bumgarner vs. Run Support against Clayton Kershaw. Of the 10 times they’ve faced off, they each had five team wins coming into tonight’s game. And here is how they stack up overall:

Advantage: Kershaw, but only slightly. Bumgarner had seen four losses in a row to him before tonight, including a painful 2-1 loss the last time they faced each other in September of 2016. A performance that featured a game score of 85, seven innings, no runs allowed and ten strikeouts; and ultimately one blown lead by the bullpen.
