Giants roll 9-0 in series opener



Hyun-Jin Ryu  left the game after one inning with shoulder pain and San Francisco inflicted pain of its own last night enroute to a 9-0 waxing of the Dodgers in the first game of a three game set by the bay.

The Giants, who have now won 10 in a row at home, pulled to within a game of the Dodgers in the NL West with Zack Greinke going against Tim Hudson tonight and Clayton Kershaw slated to take the mound tomorrow against Yusmiero Petit.

Ryu pitched well after coming off the DL for a hip muscle pull but was not ready to face the Giants last night. 

The Giants pounded out 12 hits against Dodger pitcher while Madison Bumgarner and Juan Gutierrez held the Dodgers to three hits in the one-sided affair.

Momentum is definitely in the Giants favor and it will be up to Greinke and the Los Angeles offense to win it back.


Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, Brandon Crawford and Joaquin Arias each had a pair of hits for San Francisco.
