"The Dodgers collected three hits, never more than one in an inning. They had a prime chance to score in the seventh, when Alex Freeland walked and Shohei Ohtani singled to put the would-be tying runs on base with two out."
"In 28 at-bats this season with runners in scoring position, Tucker is batting .214, with no extra-base hits. The walk did extend Ohtani's on-base streak to 53 games, tying Shawn Green for the longest in Los Angeles Dodgers history."
"Yamamoto righted himself by retiring the next 11 batters he faced, but the Dodgers lost for the third time in four games. The shine on the Dodgers' most historic rivalry has faded, right along with the Giants."
The Dodgers have lost their sole possession of first place in the NL West, now tied with the San Diego Padres. In a recent game against the Giants, the Dodgers scored only one run through walks, while their pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, allowed three runs in the first inning but recovered to retire 11 consecutive batters. The Dodgers struggled offensively, collecting only three hits. Kyle Tucker's performance with runners in scoring position has been poor, while Shohei Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 53 games.
