, thanks to a powerful solo homerun by Heliot Ramos in the top of the 1st inning. The early bomb gave us a 1-0 lead and a bit of hope against our rivals. The Dodgers couldn't answer back in their half of the frame, as Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Teoscar Hernandez all went down quickly.Mid-Game Tension
In the 3rd inning, the Giants pushed ahead further with a run scored by Matt Chapman after a clutch single by Wilmer Flores. However, the Dodgers managed to respond with a homer by Miguel Rojas, tying things up at 1-1. Despite some promising stints at bat and Casey Schmitt managing a walk, the Dodgers kept us from extending that lead.
Dodgers' Late Inning Surge
Things went south in the 5th inning when the Dodgers suddenly found their rhythm. After two outs and a walk, Ohtani changed the game with a three-run homer, followed immediately by a solo shot from Betts. Just like that, the Dodgers took a 5-2 lead, proving that infuriating Dodgers magic.
Pages added another run in the 6th to make it even tougher for us.The Giants' Attempts to Rally
We tried to climb back into the game. In the 7th, Chapman singled to bring in Willy Adames for one more run, trimming the gap to 6-3. But it wasn't enough, as the Dodgers' bullpen proved too sturdy for our lineup to break through again.A Lot to Learn for Next Time
The Giants kept showing heart, and Chapman looked particularly sharp tonight, contributing on both ends. But it wasn't our night, and we left too many opportunities on base. We need to refocus and be ready for the next showdown! Those two late homers by Ohtani and Betts really stung. Let's bounce back, my fellow Giants fans!
