Dodgers Extend Giants Dominance with 10th-Inning Victory
The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak over the San Francisco Giants to four games with a thrilling 6-4 victory in 10 innings on Monday night. Will Smith's two-run double in the extra frame proved to be the game-winner, giving the Dodgers their 20th consecutive game allowing four runs or fewer.
Mookie Betts opened the scoring with his 50th career leadoff home run, but the Giants responded with a three-run homer from Luis Matos off Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the second inning. Kiké Hernández tied the game at 4-4 with a pinch-hit homer in the seventh, setting the stage for Smith's heroics in the 10th.
Blake Treinen picked off pinch-runner Tyler Fitzgerald at first base in the ninth inning to earn the win, while J.P. Feyereisen recorded the final three outs for his first save of the season.
The Giants' bullpen struggled to hold a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning, allowing back-to-back walks to Yamamoto before Heliot Ramos drove in a run with an RBI single. Jordan Hicks, who allowed only one other run in five innings, was charged with a no-decision.
In other news, Dodgers outfielder Jason Heyward is expected to play two games for Triple-A Oklahoma City before being re-evaluated for a potential return to the major league roster. Giants infielder Jung Hoo Lee was placed on the injured list with a dislocated left shoulder after crashing into the wall on Sunday.
