SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants don’t get to host many day-night doubleheaders at AT&T Park, but that’s not why this weekend’s series with the Dodgers will be so unique. Los Angeles is listing Hyun-jin Ryu, Alex Wood and Kenta Maeda as starters, and top prospect Walker Buehler will be called back up to pitch the first game on Saturday.
