Giants continue to loom large in NL West race after third win in a row over Dodgers
San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali, left, and relief pitcher Jake McGee celebrate with pitcher Alex Wood, right, after a 5-4 win over the Dodgers on Sunday. Two months into the season, it’s clear that what most thought would be a two-team division race between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres is going to be a three-team dogfight, the San Francisco Giants reasserting themselves by winning three of four weekend games in Chavez Ravine. The Giants ambushed left-hander Clayton Kershaw for five runs and seven hits, including two homers, in the first four innings of Sunday’s 5-4 victory over the late-charging Dodgers, giving them three wins in a row over a team that swept a three-game series in San Francisco last weekend. “These are three good ballclubs playing good baseball, so we’re gonna have our hands full all year long.” The bulk of Sunday’s game was an exercise in futility and frustration for the Dodgers, who managed two hits in six innings and struck out seven times against Giants ace Kevin Gausman, who improved to 6-0 with a 1.40 ERA, the second-best ERA in baseball behind Chicago White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn.
