The Giants were 0-6 at Dodger Stadium this season and had lost their past 7 games to Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — Before the Giants’ barrage of homers, before the beating sun set behind the blue-hued seats in the upper deck of Dodger Stadium, before San Francisco’s first win here all season, closer Camilo Doval was contorting himself on the clubhouse floor, just trying to maximize the area of his body exposed to a high-powered fan.The 90-degree temperature at first pitch marked the sixth-hottest conditions the Giants have played in this season.With five home runs from Lewis Brinson , J.D.
The Giants continued their mojo from a weekend sweep of the Phillies, but in a reminder of how off course the season has gone, still trailed the Dodgers by 26.5 games in the NL West . The five homers generated all six of the Giants’ runs, and two more off Dodgers bats — a two-run blast by Freddie Freeman in the first and a solo shot from Austin Barnes in the seventh — accounted for three of their four runs, too.
Making his 27th start of the season, setting a new career-high in appearances, Webb’s six innings were hardly stress free but ultimately limited the high-powered Dodgers lineup to three runs while pitching in the same conditions. After being given a 6-2 lead, Webb worked himself into and out of trouble in the fourth. Despite allowing a pair of singles to Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy to lead off the inning, Webb limited the damage to one run — on Joey Gallo’s line-drive double down the right-field line — by inducing a weak pop fly from Miguel Vargas and getting Cody Bellinger to strike out looking, stranding runners at second and third.
Freeman gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the first inning. After Betts, the leadoff man, reached on a throwing error by third baseman Evan Longoria, Freeman unloaded a slider for a towering two-run shot into the right-field seats. The homer was Freeman’s eighth career hit against Webb and the single his ninth in 17 at-bats, tied for the most of any major-leaguer.
