"For the 90th time since moving to San Francisco, the Giants drew 10 walks in a single game. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers' starting pitcher, walked six, a season-high. Relievers Michael Kopech and Blake Treinen issued two free passes. Drawing that many walks correlates with winning. Entering play, the Giants were 69-20 in games where they drew at least 10 walks since moving to the West Coast."
"The following half inning, the Dodgers put runners on second and third with one out. Mookie Betts pulled a grounder towards the six-hole. Ben Rortvedt, the runner on third, dashed home. Adames charged the grounder hard, then fired a perfect throw on the run to an awaiting Patrick Bailey. If Bailey secured the ball, Rortvedt would've been out in plenty of time. But Bailey muffed the catch, Rortvedt was safe and the Dodgers had the game's first run."
San Francisco drew 10 walks, the 90th time since relocating, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto issuing six and relievers Michael Kopech and Blake Treinen adding two combined. Teams that draw at least 10 walks tend to win frequently, and the Giants had a 69-20 record in such games since the move; MLB clubs this season are 15-2 in games with 10 or more walks. Despite the free passes, San Francisco managed only one hit and lost 2-1 at Dodger Stadium. Logan Webb allowed two runs (one earned) over seven innings. A sixth-inning sequence produced a hard-hit out and later a muffed throw that allowed the first run.
