Game Wrap 6/28/2021: Dodgers 3 Giants 2

 The Giants outhit the Dodgers 11-5 but were outhomered 3-2, which is pretty much the game right there.  Game Notes:

Giants fans frustrations with this game are not assuaged by an increasingly familiar pattern of the Dodgers jumping on their SP for B2B HR's to lead off their half of the first inning.  The Giants have come back from some of those awful starts, but you have to think that is probably not going to happen when your opponent is Trevor Bauer RHP and the Dodgers.  

3 of Anthony DeSclafani RHP's 4 worst starts of the season have come against the Dodgers.  He made a nice recovery from the two HR's to lead off the Dodgers first inning but the damage was done.  Those two early pitches cost him the game.

Lamonte Wade Jr 1B was not intimidated by Trevor Bauer and his antics.  Wade led off the game with a hard single and took Bauer deep for the Gaints first run in the 3'rd inning.  He was later awarded first base when a replay showed the pitch grazed his jersey as it went by.

Brandon Crawford SS hit a looong HR for his 17'th of the season and the Giants other run of the night.

Wilmer Flores 3B went 4 for 4 but did not figure in the scoring.  It was that kind of a night.  Flores' leg is clearly not right.  We can pretty much forget about him taking the extra base.

Mike Yastrzemski RF left the game early after fouling one off his shin.  That is painful just to think about and YtY appeared to be in as much pain as we can imagine.  X-rays were reported as negative for a fracture.
