The Los Angeles Dodgers will be looking to extend their winning streak to three games when they host the San Francisco Giants this evening. The Dodgers lead the National League West in the MLB, after accumulating five victories while conversely, on the flip side of the coin, the Giants have only consummated two victories at the start of the season.

The Dodgers will try to seal the second victory of the Series, after winning 8-3 with a tremendous effort by pitcher James Paxton and a brilliant offense led by Teoscar Hernández, Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts. For their part, San Francisco have lost a number of players to injury including: Caron Ragsdale, Will Bednar, Reggie Crawford, Tristan Beck, Robbie Ray, Ethan Small and Austin Warren... so the Giants must reshuffle the pack to make up for the absentees.

What time does the Giants vs Dodgers start?

The game between the Dodgers and the Giants will be played on Tuesday 2 April 2024 at Dodger Stadium, first pitch is at 10:10 p.m. ET / 7:10 p.m. PT.

What happened in the Dodgers game yesterday?

Yesterday’s game ended 3-8 to the Dodgers. Mookie Betts opened the game with a massive triple. Shohei Ohtani did his part by bringing him in with a sacrifice fly. Two innings later, Ohtani would hit a double and it would be Freddie Freeman’s turn to bring Betts in. A sac fly by Smith would score Ohtani.

The Dodgers now have sole possession of first place in the NL West, a situation that will certainly become routine as this season progresses. The incredible thing about the awesome offensive ability of this Dodgers team is that they still have so much higher that they can reach. The ceiling for this team is so incredibly high.

The Giants were stymied today, and that is a situation that is kind of unbelievable. They have been such a scoring machine that you can’t believe that they can only muster three runs. Tonight will see them try again, and one thing that is great about baseball is that tomorrow is always a new day.... Read Jeffrey May’s full, blow-by-blow account of yesterday’s game here:
