Dodgers steamroll Giants, snatch weekend series behind offensive explosion
"Robbie Ray (L, 11-7, 3.53 ERA) struggled in the top of the second inning. He allowed center fielder Tommy Edman to hit a ground ball to first, walked Alex Call, and both advanced on a wild pitch. Edman scored on a sacrifice fly from Dodgers third baseman Enrique Hernández. The Dodgers (84-65) led 1-0 in the second. In the bottom of the second, Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee was hit by a pitch before Wilmer Flores singled on a ground ball to center."
"In the fifth, he walked and scored on Freddie Freeman's double to right. With two on, pinch-hitter Michael Conforto-batting for Call-singled to right to bring in Freeman and Hernández. Moments later Edman scored on a disengagement violation (balk) by Joel Peguero. The Dodgers stretched the lead to 6-1. With zero outs in the sixth, the Dodgers kept the carousel moving."
The Dodgers beat the Giants 10-2 behind a powerful, sustained offensive performance. Robbie Ray labored early, allowing Tommy Edman to score on a sacrifice fly while the Giants briefly tied it 1-1 on a Jung Hoo Lee hit-by-pitch and Casey Schmitt sacrifice fly. Los Angeles took control with a multi-inning attack featuring Mookie Betts reaching base repeatedly, Freddie Freeman doubles, and Michael Conforto RBIs. A balk by Joel Peguero extended the lead, and Miguel Rojas added a two-run single. The Dodgers added insurance runs later while the Giants managed a two-run rally in the eighth.
