The SFGiants almost erased a six-run deficit, but the Dodgers managed to hold on for the win.
The Dodgers put their foot on the gas in the top of the eighth, scoring three insurance runs with four consecutive two-out extra-base hits, including two off lefty Alex Young, who was making his Giants debut.Four innings into Life After The Deadline, the Giants trailed 6-0. They were playing poor defense and showing no life at the plate. Everything changed with a fourth-inning flurry.
Brandon Belt and Wilmer Flores got the Giants going with singles off Tyler Anderson and Gonzalez got them on the board with a soft single to right. Villar followed with a pop-up to right that was placed perfectly and fell for an RBI double that cut it to 6-2. A wild pitch scored another run and Bart's no-doubter to left-center made it 6-5 in the blink of an eye, as Oracle Park roared and"Beat L.A." chants filled the yard.
Anderson was an All-Star last month and had allowed more than four runs in a game just once this season. It certainly was a good sign that the Giants got to a tough lefty a few hours after trading Darin Ruf, one of their best hitters against lefties.Before the game, Farhan Zaidi said the trade of Curt Casali was partly a vote of confidence for Bart, who has played better since returning. He certainly made that look wise.
