Giants score 2 total runs in 2-game sweep vs. Dodgers in rivals’ first meeting of 2022.
LOS ANGELES — There have not been many blowouts in the Giants’ saga with the Dodgers over the past year. In fact, none to the magnitude of their 9-1 loss Wednesday night.
After relieving Mauricio Llovera, who replaced starter Alex Wood, left-hander Sam Long didn’t cover first base on a soft-hit ground ball from Gavin Lux, allowing the Dodgers to turn a one-run seventh inning into four and take an insurmountable 7-1 lead. The Dodgers scored the final nine runs of the game, with Mookie Betts and Max Muncy tacking on three more with homers in the sixth and the eighth, after Brandon Crawford gave the Giants a 1-0 lead with a solo shot to lead off the second.
Wood got Freeman swinging in his previous at-bat — his seventh strikeout and the first out past the fifth inning he has recorded this season. Wood’s final four outs came via strikeout, striking out the side in the fifth inning, though it appeared manager Gabe Kapler was prepared to pull Wood if he had run into trouble, with Long warming in the bullpen. But Wood came back out for the next inning, at 84 pitches, as the Dodgers turned their lineup over for the third time.
Luis González, who bunted for a base hit in Tuesday’s loss, stole second base and made it to third after ripping a single to lead off the third inning, but the Giants stranded him 90 feet away. Kevin Padlo, who led off the fifth with another single, was their only other runner to reach scoring position after the González.
