San Francisco Giants Podcast with Michael Duca:

1 After the Giants took Monday night’s first game of the three game series against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers at 2 AM 8-6 the Dodger got that sinking feeling that they may not ever break that long losing streak that extended to 11 that night. They breath easier now after snapping the streak on Tuesday night.

2 The Dodgers one figure who helped them with the win was starter Klayton Kershaw who pitched six innings and gave up eight hits and two runs.

3 The Dodgers also avoided reaching the all time franchise loss streak going back to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1944 at 16 straight games

4 The 2018 season schedule came out and San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy was pleased to see more road trips and home games that will be longer with nine to ten games per stand. It would give the club time to settle down rather than just picking up and going all the time.

5 The Dodgers start Yu Darvish (8-12) against the Giants Matt Moore (5-13) Wednesday night at AT&T Park to conclude this current series.
