SAN FRANCISCO — Matching the mighty Dodgers for all nine innings and then some Saturday afternoon, the Giants couldn’t keep once the game reached its 11th inning and the clock elapsed beyond three and a half hours.
Trading leads seven times over the first 10 innings, the Dodgers ensured there wouldn’t be an eighth lead change with a seven-run onslaught against Sean Hjelle in his second inning of work. After intentionally walking Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith cleared the bases with a two-run double as part of a string of six straight hits.
