Through the first two games of the Gabe Kapler era as manager of the San Francisco Giants, things are not looking good.

Max Muncy went 3-for-4, including two home runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Giants 9-1 at Dodger Stadium.

Muncy gave the Dodgers a quick 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning, as he took a Tyler Anderson offering and planted it into the right field pavilion.

The seven-time defending division champions did not stop there, as there scored in every inning with the exception of the third inning against Giants pitching.

Anderson lasted 1.2 innings, as he gave two runs and walked three and did not strike out a batter.

Kevin Gausman went four innings, allowing three runs (two of them earned) and gave up six hits, while walking one and striking out two.

Cory Seager also picked up three hits in four at-bats for the Dodgers, who have outscored the 17-2 thru the first two games of the season.

Ross Stripling looked to be in mid-season, despite the fact that it was his first start of the season, as he went seven innings, scattering four hits, not walking a batter and striking out one.

Jaylin Davis came up with the lone bright spot of the night, as he launched an opposite field home run in the top of the third inning off of Stripling.

The Giants defense picked up four errors on the evening, including the second error in as many days by Wlimer Flores.

There was a scary scene in the bottom of the fifth inning, as Chris Taylor reached on a throwing error by Flores and as Taylor was running down the line, he ran smack dab into the backside of Pablo Sandoval and crashed to the Dodger Stadium turf. Taylor, who looked like he was a running back for the Los Angeles Rams and Sandoval was a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers got up and stayed in the game.

UP NEXT: Left-hander Alex Wood will take the mound for the Dodgers on Saturday afternoon, while the Giants have yet to announce a starter.
