Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched seven innings of shutout ball, holding
the Giants to four singles in windy AT&T Park this afternoon, leading the
Dodgers to a 2-1 win over San Francisco to salvage the final game of three-game
series.
Tim Federowicz and Adrian Gonzalez knocked in a run apiece
and Brian Wilson came off the DL to pitch the eighth inning and set up closer
Kenley Jansen who surrendered a run in the ninth but held on to get the save.
L.A.’s victory left the Dodgers and Giants knotted atop the
NL West at 10-6. The Dodgers return to Los Angeles to start a 10-game
homestand. First up is the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have dropped all five
matchups against the Dodgers in this young season.
Hanley Ramirez sat out with an injured hand after getting
hit by a pitch last night. X-rays showed no break in the hand and Ramirez is
planning on being in the lineup tomorrow at Chavez Ravine.
Yasiel Puig made playing right field another adventure with
a dropped fly ball, cannon throw to second to force a runner and an
over-the-shoulder catch that evoked images of Willie Mays catching a long fly
with his back to home plate.
Puig has been getting a lot of attention after a story of
his flight from Cuba was published in Los Angeles Magazine and the New York
Times. Puig had human traffickers showing up to collect money at spring training and the
Dodgers and Major League Baseball have to be hoping the story goes away.
Another bit of good news was a report that Clayton Kershaw
pitched a bullpen session today and looks like he is returning to form. The
Dodgers are hoping he will come off the DL in May.
