On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Stephen:

#1 Stephen, the Giants coughed up a lot of runs in the top of the 11th inning against the Dodgers on Saturday night at Oracle Park no doubt it was a breakdown in Sean Hjelle’s effort in trying to close the door.

#2 The Dodgers Will Smith got a hit that knocked in two runs that help start the 11th inning rally and the difference was seven runs as the Giants would lose by a touchdown 14-7.

#3 Hjelle was hit hard in the 11th after Shohei Ohtani was walked Smith got a two run double and the Dodgers put together five hits in row for the win in extra innings.

#4 It was a tight close game until the 11th inning arrived and took the Giants out of it for good. Talk about how close this one was until the 11th inning.

#5 Ohtani always a threat and a concern comes into today’s game as the lead off hitter with a .321 average, 26 home runs and 62 RBIs. One thing he’s understated about he can steal bases he has 16 and has been caught only twice.
