It wasn't a great start with the homer, but he battled that at-bat and saw pretty much everything and then made a good swing on a not-my-greatest slider. Overall, I just wish I could have gone a little deeper and got ahead more. I feel like I was 2-0 a lot and then battled back ... it was just a lot of deep counts. It's just (about) getting ahead early, not getting 2-0 and digging myself out of the hole. That could probably help with the pitch counts and then going deep into games.
As the Giants have seen repeatedly this season, the deep Dodgers lineup is hard to get through even a second time. Hicks' best stretch came in the fourth, when he struck out Teoscar Hernandez and Gavin Lux with a runner on first, but that took a toll. He threw 13 total pitches to the six and seven hitters, with both going 3-2.
