LOS ANGELES — The Giants altered their rotation so trade deadline acquisition Matt Moore could make a difference in this big series. A Dodgers pickup beat Moore to the punch by a day.
In his first start for the Dodgers, left-hander Rich Hill pitched six shutout innings. The Giants didn’t have any more luck against the bullpen, falling 1-0 at Dodger Stadium to drop three games out of first place in the National League West. They are now just half a game ahead of the Cardinals atop the Wild Card standings.
Hill was making his first start in 48 days and first since being traded from the A’s to Dodgers.
