Giants Push for Sweep of Dodgers After Back-to-Back Shutdowns at Oracle Park

A reshuffled San Francisco rotation has upended expectations in a rivalry the Dodgers were favored to control.

Overview

  • The Giants took the opener 3-1 on Tuesday and followed with a 3-0 win Wednesday as Tyler Mahle threw seven scoreless innings.
  • Manager Tony Vitello’s choice to start Landen Roupp on Tuesday paid off when he allowed one run on one hit in five innings.
  • Patrick Bailey supplied Wednesday’s offense with a three-run homer in the seventh, breaking a scoreless tie against Shohei Ohtani’s Dodgers.
  • Thursday’s series finale features Tyler Glasnow for Los Angeles against Logan Webb for San Francisco as the Giants chase a three-game sweep.
  • Pre-game betting had tilted to the Dodgers at around -207 on the moneyline, yet San Francisco has seized short-term momentum with a four-game home win streak.
