The Dodgers defeated the Giants on Friday night, 2-1. The Giants had two hits, and that oversells the contact they made — Brandon Belt’s bloop double was the hardest hit of the night by exit velocity. For the first time in three weeks, the Giants do not have sole possession of first place.
There’s no way to spin all of that into a feel-good story. The negatives outweighed the positives by a metric ton, and a day after the Giants won by 15 runs, they had trouble hitting the ball out of the infield.
Yet there’s a way to tell a story of the game that isn’t all feel-bad. It requires an airplane view of what the Giants and Dodgers are doing here in the context of National League West baseball in 2021. In the context of any baseball in 2021.
First, look for the last time the Giants and Dodgers played a series at Oracle Park with these kinds of expectations.
