The Los Angeles Dodgers started their final series against the San Francisco Giants this season with a 4-0 win at Oracle Park. The game was played in front of a national audience as part of the “Friday Night Baseball” stream on Apple TV+.
Logan Webb entered the night having pitched to a 1.88 ERA in his past seven starts, but the right-hander again struggled against the Dodgers. Max Muncy led off the second inning with a double and took third base on Justin Turner’s groundout.
Joey Gallo, who made an impressive sliding catch to end the first inning, was rewarded for putting the ball in play as Muncy scored on a chopper hit to first base because the throw home kicked away.
After Turner led off the fourth inning with one of his two doubles on the night, Gallo advanced him with a grounder, and Chris Taylor followed with an RBI single. Turner is up to a new career high of 36 doubles this season, surpassing the 34 he hit in 2016.
Taylor advanced into scoring position on Webb’s wild pitch, and Cody Bellinger brought him in on a base hit. Bellinger later stole second base with two outs and that was cashed in by Trea Turner extending his hitting streak to 12 games with an RBI single.

Since holding the Dodgers to one run over six innings in his first start against them this season, Webb has allowed a combined 13 runs in 15 innings over their past three meetings.
Dustin May leads Dodgers pitching
After being disappointed by some regression since returning from Tommy John surgery, Dustin May bounced back with five no-hit innings against the Giants.
The lone baserunner he allowed was Brandon Crawford’s one-out single in the second inning that was erased on a double play.
Alex Vesia lost the bid for a combined no-hitter on a soft infield single in the bottom of the sixth, but he, Caleb Ferguson and Phil Bickford completed the shutout.
