Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers Locked On Podcast Network

Clayton Kershaw started for the first time this season. He seemed to have pretty good command of his off-speed stuff. He would give up 4 consecutive hits in the 3rd but then struck out the side. The Dodgers had the bats working 14 hits in all 7 from the bottom 3 in the line-up Kike Hernandez had 3 and 2 each from Austin Barnes and Nick Ahmed who hit the go ahead home run in the 8th, his first as a Dodger

Dodgers scored first with a bases loaded walk but the Giants tied the game on a Matt Chapman Home Run and broke it open in the 8th with 6 runs, 5 of which were charge to Yohan Ramirez who was only able to manage 2 outs. Tyler Glasnow took the loss in his return form the IL going 5 giving up 2 runs on 4 hits while striking out 4.

Gavin Lux stayed hot with 2 hits including a 2 rbi double in the 1st to get the Dodgers on the board and give Landon Knack a little cushion. Shohei Ohtani struck out 3 times but also drove in 3 with a double and a single. Landon Knack had a quality start going 5 striking out 6 and allowing just 1 run on 2 hits for his 2nd win.
