The Dodgers put their foot on the gas in the top of the eighth, scoring three insurance runs with four consecutive two-out extra-base hits, including two off lefty Alex Young, who was making his Giants debut.Four innings into Life After The Deadline, the Giants trailed 6-0. They were playing poor defense and showing no life at the plate. Everything changed with a fourth-inning flurry.
Brandon Belt and Wilmer Flores got the Giants going with singles off Tyler Anderson and Gonzalez got them on the board with a soft single to right. Villar followed with a pop-up to right that was placed perfectly and fell for an RBI double that cut it to 6-2. A wild pitch scored another run and Bart's no-doubter to left-center made it 6-5 in the blink of an eye, as Oracle Park roared and"Beat L.A." chants filled the yard.
Anderson was an All-Star last month and had allowed more than four runs in a game just once this season. It certainly was a good sign that the Giants got to a tough lefty a few hours after trading Darin Ruf, one of their best hitters against lefties.Before the game, Farhan Zaidi said the trade of Curt Casali was partly a vote of confidence for Bart, who has played better since returning. He certainly made that look wise.
Almost erased a six-run deficit before the Dodgers added on against the Giants crap bullpen. Details at 11!
