A pivotal moment came in the fourth inning when they scored four runs, followed by another run in the fifth and an additional four in the ninth inning.
On the other hand, despite a valiant effort, the Giants struggled to find their rhythm against a formidable Dodgers pitching lineup. The home team accumulated nine hits and made two errors over nine innings. Their scoring efforts were concentrated late in the game with one run in the sixth inning and another in the ninth but were insufficient to mount a comeback.
