SF Giants beat LA 10 of 19 times last season but had dropped their first two games this year.
SAN FRANCISCO — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts looked at the stats. He made the sensible move. He knows Joc Pederson — he managed him for 4½ seasons — but didn’t account for his preponderance for clutch hits when he opted to intentionally walk the batter in front of him to load the bases.
“It was a smart move,” said Pederson, who didn’t get emotional at the possible slight from a former manager, “but it turned into two RBIs.” “The Dodgers are in town … so the crowd brought some energy,” said Ruf, who was playing his fourth game since returning from bereavement list following the unexpected death of his father. “It’s been a tough couple weeks. To go out and perform like that in a big game when things haven’t gone great for me this season was really special.”
“My first Giants-Dodgers game, a little bummer with how it ended,” said Junis, who was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. “Definitely couldn’t have stayed in the game. I knew that right away, which was frustrating. … That atmosphere, that was a lot of fun to pitch in.” The decision to bring up Pederson over Flores against the left-hander was likely a no-brainer in Roberts’ mind. Pederson has been among the National League’s top power hitters this season, but he’s done it while facing almost exclusively right-handed pitching. His career OPS against left-handers is more than 200 points lower than against righties. The matchup with Pederson was supposed to favor Bruihl , not the one with Flores.
