The Los Angeles Dodgers finally got some hits, including one from Mookie Betts, but still fell 9-3 to the San Francisco Giants Monday night.


The Dodgers (24-17) lost the first of a four-game series with the Giants (17-24) at Dodger Stadium despite having four players with multiple hits.

One of those players was Max Muncy, who homered for the second straight day.


Muncy’s homer tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth inning, though the lead didn’t last long.

In the top of the seventh, the Dodgers bullpen turned to Alex Vesia, who walked in a bases-loaded run with one out, then Will Klein, who gave up a two-RBI single to Willy Adames.

The Giants piled on three more runs in the ninth.

Mookie Betts is back!​


Shortstop Mookie Betts was back in action Monday night, going 1-for-5.

How did Shohei Ohtani play against the Giants?​


Shohei Ohtani, though, wasn’t among those with multiple hits. He didn’t even have one.

Ohtani was 0-for-4 with a strikeout, continuing his puzzling slump.

The Roki rollercoaster continues​


To even get to the 3-3 tie required the Dodgers to overcome a two-run sixth inning after an otherwise strong outing from Roki Sasaki.

He also showed moments of excellence, continuing his trend of uneven performances thus far this season.

A sixth inning to forget for Roki Sasaki.

He gave up three hits that resulted in two runs to lose the lead.
