Giants Deliver Historic Shutout of Dodgers Not Seen in 125 Years

Saturday night was one for the history books between the Giants and Dodgers

San Francisco pounced on their NL West rivals, delivering a stunning 15–0 victory at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers’ loss was their largest defeat during a shutout at home in 125 years, dating back to an 1898 matchup against the Pirates, per ESPN Stats and Info.

The Giants poured in their most runs against the Dodgers in 10 years in the win, despite being held off the scoreboard until the fifth inning. They scored at least three runs in four of the last five innings of the game, powered by a pinch-hit grand slam from J.D. Davis

Both Davis and Lamonte Wade Jr. provided five RBIs, while Brandon Crawford made up four of the team’s 17 hits on the evening. 

A solid start from Los Angeles’s Bobby Miller was quickly undone in the fifth and sixth innings, during which he surrendered seven earned runs.

The big win puts just half a game between the Giants (38–32) and Dodgers (39–32) in the NL West, which is led by the upstart Diamondbacks (42–280. San Francisco will look to close out the road sweep on Sunday, having already picked up a win in Friday’s series opener.
