Brett Wisely, Matt Chapman and Luis Matos all homered in the Giants’ 5-3 win to open their series against the Dodgers.
San Francisco Giants’ Matt Chapman is greeted by Luis Matos after hitting a 2-run homer to give the Giants a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., Friday, June 28, 2024.
The ninth-inning rally was necessary after Camilo Doval was unable to close out the 3-2 lead he was handed to begin the top half of the inning, allowing the first batter he faced, Andy Pages, to line a triple off the glove of center fielder Heliot Ramos and score on a sacrifice fly. After allowing the first two batters of the inning to reach base and score, the fifth had a big inning written all over it for the Dodgers, who had one run in and one man on with nobody out when the lineup turned over to Shohei Ohtani.Manager Bob Melvin opted to intentionally put the Dodgers’ dangerous leadoff man on base, only for the next batter, Will Smith, to rip an RBI single up the middle, anyway.
Homering for the second time since being called up Saturday, Matos jumped on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the fifth and sent it on a line-drive trajectory into the seats above the 399′ sign in left-center field, pulling the Giants within a run.
