He went 3 for 11 in the first four games of the NLDS, and had a big two-run double in Game 2. 165/.240/.302 in 350 plate appearances around various injuries, and at one point he was demoted to platoon duty. To call it a tough season for Cody Bellinger would be an understatement. His previous career long was 439-footer back in July. 452 feet goes out of every part of every park.īy the way, that 452-foot homer is the longest home run of the postseason so far, and also the longest home run of Ruf's career. The third fly ball? A homer in all 30 parks, of course. Seager just reached out and poked the ball the other way.Īccording to Statcast, Ruf's first fly ball would have been a home run in 12 ballparks, though his second would have been out in zero ballparks because it was hit toward the gap. Mookie Betts singled, stole second, then scored on a Corey Seager double in the sixth inning of Game 5.
GIANTS BASEBALL SCORE TODAY SERIES
Logan Webb was excellent again in Game 5, and it wasn't until his 14th inning of the series that the Dodgers were able to scratch out a run. From that perspective, mission accomplished. The Dodgers got their scoreless innings and got the Giants to shorten their bench. Julio Urías took over in the third inning, at which point the righty hitting Donovan Solano replaced the lefty hitting La Stella. Knebel and Graterol combined to allow three hits in two innings - Knebel allowed two hard-hit balls to the warning track and Graterol was burned by broken bat singles - but the Giants went 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position those two innings, and couldn't capitalize. La Stella started at second base and in the leadoff spot, then was removed for a pinch-hitter in his second at-bat. It was not necessarily pretty, but the Dodgers got scoreless innings from Corey Knebel and Brusdar Graterol to begin the game, and in the process coaxed the Giants into burning Tommy La Stella. Here are seven takeaways from Game 5 of the NLDS. The Dodgers then had starter and trade deadline acquisition Max Scherzer record the final three outs to send them on their way to the NLCS. With the score tied 1-1 in the ninth, Cody Bellinger drove in the series-winning run with an RBI single against Giants closer Camilo Doval. At times it felt like neither team would be able to break through with another run. The Giants didn't relent, however, and struck right back in their half of the frame thanks to a solo home run by Darin Ruf. The Dodgers struck first on Thursday, with Corey Seager doubling home Mookie Betts in the top of the sixth inning. The Giants, meanwhile, head home after five playoff games despite having the game's best record in 2021. The Dodgers eliminated their historic rivals with a 2-1 win ( box score), setting up an NLCS rematch with the Atlanta Braves. The San Francisco Giants were one game better than the Los Angeles Dodgers just about all season, right up until Game 5 of the NLDS on Thursday night.
