Overview

  • The Dodgers defeated the Giants 5-2 in 11 innings at Oracle Park to wrap up the first half on a high note.
  • Pinch-hitter Luis Matos tied the game with a two-run homer in the ninth before Freddie Freeman’s bloop single sparked a three-run top of the 11th.
  • Starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered seven shutout innings with seven strikeouts, while Giants reliever Spencer Bivins was charged with the loss.
  • Los Angeles snapped its season-worst seven-game slide and enters the All-Star break at 58-39, six games clear in the NL West.
  • Neither the Dodgers nor the Giants has finalized its post–All-Star break rotation, giving both clubs time to reassess their pitching staffs.
