On the SF Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 San Francisco Giants starter Robbie Ray looked like he never missed a step throwing five innings of no hit ball against the Mighty Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine for a 8-3 win. Ray had been recovering from Tommy John surgery and this was his first appearance of the season.

#2 The Giants Matt Chapman slugged his 14th home run of season helping the Giants in getting a five run win over the Dodgers in the third game of this four game series.

#3 Ray coming back from surgery after rehabbing was in the Giants plans to make his first appearance of the season in July but no one expected him to out baffle, keep the hitters off balance and help keep the Dodgers run count down.

#4 Ray after loading the bases in the first inning allowed just one bases loaded walk and no hit the Dodgers for his first five innings.

#5 The Giants will start RHP Logan Webb (7-8, ERA 3.59) and the Dodgers will start LHP Clayton Kershaw (0-0, ERA 0.00) Kershaw is making his first appearance of the 2024 season after having shoulder surgery. This game will conclude the four game series.
