LOS ANGELES–Get used to this, Giants fans.
The 2019 club may not treat viewers to the kind of Giants’ torture they came to know and love at the beginning of the decade, but there will be tension, there will be pressure and there will be plenty of low-scoring, high-energy games to watch.
Wednesday’s series finale of a three-game set at Dodger Stadium offered another example as the Giants surrendered a late lead in a 5-3 defeat.
With the game on the line, Dodger manager Dave Roberts could have opted to use a power-hitting, left-handed pinch-hitter in Joc Pederson or Max Muncy against hard-throwing righty Reyes Moronta.
