Dodgers let one get away Saturday night on Clayton Kershaw’s second start of the season and allowed the Giants to jump on him with multiple solo home runs that gave them an early lead which lead to a victory on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers P Walker Buehler had his longest outing of the season with 5 2/3 innings and allowing 2 runs, striking out six, and walking four.
Through 6 innings of play, the Giants are leading the game so far 2-0 with an RBI single by Mike Yastrzemski in the top of the 5th. As we roll through this game, it just seems like the Giants are having a great game so far through 7 innings until the Dodgers started hitting baseballs out of Dodger Stadium. Coming into the bottom of the 7th, 2019 NL MVP came to bat and got a single with one out in the inning, Justin Turner does the same, and then A.J Pollock came to bat and hit a three-run home run to take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 7th.

Dodgers Closer Kenley Jansen came in with a four lead cushion and got three straight outs to close the game.
