The Giants are looking to finish the unofficial first half of the season on a high note as Robbie Ray takes on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. San Francisco won Friday night’s series opener, staving off a comeback attempt by the Dodgers, then lost Saturday as Shohei Ohtani made his pitching debut in the rivalry.

The Dodgers finally got back in the win column after dropping seven straight as the team outlasted the Giants 2-1 on Saturday.

Michael Conforto had three hits and scored twice, Shohei Ohtani took another encouraging step back on the mound in his recovery from elbow surgery and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 to end a seven-game losing streak.

Baseball hitters are used to dodging pitches in the batter’s box. But Giants star Jung Hoo Lee had to dodge a much more bizarre thing during Saturday’s game against the Dodgers: a bird.

The San Francisco Giants got the short end of the stick in their first matchup against this Los Angeles Dodgers star.

Willy Adames homered in the second inning and hit a two-run triple in San Francisco’s five-run fifth to back Logan Webb’s win, and the Giants sent the rival Los Angeles Dodgers to their seventh straight loss with an 8-7 victory.

In his longest outing on the mound since returning from injury, ace Shohei Ohtani shut down the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, allowing just one hit and recording four strikeouts across three innings.
