The first half of the game was played with waves of rain and wind hitting Oracle Park. The Dodgers scored twice in the 10th inning to beat the Giants for the 12th time in their past 13 meetings.
SAN FRANCISCO – The weather Sunday provided a bigger challenge for the Dodgers than the San Francisco Giants have this year.
“Obviously it’s a different year as far as the race,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, referring to the down-to-the-wire battle with the Giants for the division title a year ago. “We’ve remained steadfast in how we play and we’ve got a lot of good players. The results speak to that. “That saved us,” Freddie Freeman said. “Two of them. If those don’t go over the fence, we don’t win the game.”
The retro-Candlestick tone for the day was struck on the first pitch of the game when Betts hit a line drive to right field. Heliot Ramos broke back on the ball — which the wind knocked down for a single well in front of him.A downpour prompted the umpiring crew to stop the game with two outs in the fourth inning. The grounds crew unrolled the tarp in left field – and rolled it back up about 20 minutes later, the rain having relented while they worked on the field.
