After erasing a five-run deficit, the Giants stunningly lost to the Dodgers in the first game of the second half.
The slam gave Ruf just his second four-RBI game with the Giants. The other one came during the shortened 2020 season.Carlos Rodón allowed a solo homer to Freddie Freeman on a poorly-located 0-2 fastball in the first inning and a double by Thompson made it 2-0 an inning later. But the rest of the runs on Rodón's line were not deserved.
With two outs and two on in the third, Justin Turner hit a high fly ball to right that Luis Gonzalez never saw as he looked up into the lights right as the sun was setting. He put his hands out right away and then turned and bolted for the track, where the ball landed for what was ruled a two-run double.
Rodón should have been out of the inning but instead trailed 4-0, and Hanser Alberto's double would tack on a fifth run. Rodón was charged with five earned runs, his second-highest total of the year. His only previous five-run outing with the Giants came on May 4 when the St. Louis Cardinals tagged him for eight runs. Thursday's bad luck lifted Rodón's ERA from 2.66 to 2.95.The Gonzalez misplay wasn't the only one on this night, which fit right in with a lot of what the Giants did defensively in the first half.
Pederson, who was the one who chased that double down, later had a ball tick off his glove, potentially costing the Giants a base. There was also a throwing error from Austin Wynns when Betts stole second in the fourth, and as Betts rounded third the Giants briefly kicked the ball around.In the middle of all that, the Dodgers had one of the best defensive innings any team will have this season. Bellinger opened the fourth by making a sliding catch of Wilmer Flores' sinking liner to center.
