The highly anticipated matchup between the Dodgers and Giants did not deliver, culminating in a 6-2 loss for the Dodgers. Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled with commands, influenced by a tight strike zone that led to crucial walks and disadvantages in key moments. Despite his hurdles, Justin Wrobleski provided solid relief. Offensively, Teoscar Hernandez shone with both hits for the Dodgers, including a home run, but overall the team failed to support effectively, showing a lack of offensive depth against Giants pitching. The rivalry continues with a second game scheduled.
In the end, he'll be struck with an ugly looking line, but the fact remains that if the zone was simply called as designed, Yamamoto would likely have grinded out a five or six innings start with one or two earned.
Justin Wrobleski took over and was great, giving up just a solo shot and finishing the game: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 66 Pitches.
Offensively, it was basically Teoscar Hernandez, who had both of their hits, including his 12th dong of the year.
Regardless, the lineup couldn't mount much of a challenge in a 6-2 loss.
