The Giants (17-24) took the series opener versus the Dodgers (24-17), 9-3, as the hitting slump for Los Angeles continued. San Francisco is now 3-1 versus Los Angeles this season.
Los Angeles has lost three straight games and are one away from a season-long four straight losses. The offense has struggled as Shohei Ohtani, for example, is hitting .111 in the month of May. The Dodgers will rely on their ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the second of a four-game set. Los Angeles is 5-2 when he pitches this season.
The Giants turn to Adrian Houser, which hasn’t worked out as well as they’d hoped this year. San Francisco is 1-6 in Houser’s seven starts compared to 16-18 in his non-starts. On the road, it isn’t much netter. Yesterday’s win snapped a seven-game road losing streak. However, the Giants have won two consecutive games and three of the past four entering this tilt.
