Latest news and updates about the Giants
The Dodgers are now losers of four straight (again) after falling to the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Tuesday, but Shohei Ohtani was able to bust out of his slump and was the only redeeming factor for the Dodgers. Ohtani went 2-4 with a single, a home run and a walk, recording his first home […]
The San Francisco Giants had a good time in Southern California on Tuesday night, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2. In a statistic that almost defies reality, the Giants are now 4-1 against the two-time defending champions … and just 14-23 against the rest of the league. But that wasn’t the only fun that was […]
Eric Haase is no kid, but he can definitely play. In his sixth game with the San Francisco Giants, the veteran catcher hit two home runs off Yoshinobu Yamamato (3-3), the second happening one pitch after Harrison Bader took Yamamoto deep in the 5th inning. That put the Giants up 3-2 and they went on […]

LOS ANGELES —Game three of the four-game series between the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants comes Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, with a left-handed starting pitcher on the mound for the first (and only scheduled) time in this set.

LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy hit a home run on Monday against the San Francisco Giants, which might have been expected. The Dodgers third baseman has been hitting the ball hard this season, among the best in baseball, and he already played three games this year against the Giants without hitting a home run. One […]
People come to Los Angeles with big dreams. Some want to make it as Hollywood actors. Others dream of a record deal and music fame. And there’s those who aspire to drink green juice while wearing oversized sunglasses and attend the third-through-seventh inning of a Dodger game at Chavez Ravine while pitching a reality show. […]
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani won’t hit in one of the final two games against the San Francisco Giants this week, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hasn’t yet decided if that will be on Wednesday when Ohtani pitches or on Thursday for what would amount to a mental reset day for the slumping superstar. When […]
As Roki Sasaki and Trevor McDonald took different paths to deliver extremely similar results—Sasaki navigating through far less traffic than McDonald—it was up to the bullpens to decide this game, and the Giants’ one proved superior on the evening, securing a 9-3 win to open up this four-game set at Dodger Stadium. Hanging splitters and […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound on Tuesday night for the Dodgers against the Giants, looking to avenge one of his two losses this season. Yamamoto pitched seven innings on April 21 in San Francisco but took the loss after allowing three runs, all of them in the first inning. The opening frame is the worst […]
If Ryan Borucki strikes out Shohei Ohtani at any point in this upcoming Giants-Dodgers series, I’ll email “Ryan Borucki is as cold as the Bo-Rockies” with zero explanation to the department head at the middle school I work at. If Ryan Borucki strikes out Shohei Ohtani at any point in this upcoming Giants-Dodgers series to […]
LOS ANGELES — For the first time in 37 days, Mookie Betts is back in the starting lineup, batting second for the Dodgers on Monday night against the San Francisco Giants. In between was a lot of waiting, still hampered by his strained right oblique. “I didn’t realize how long it takes to really heal. […]

That’s a whole lot of baseball to get to, so let’s get to it! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the […]
The San Francisco Giants are kicking off a road trip tonight when they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers. And, as expected, there are some reinforcements meeting them in Southern California. On Monday afternoon, a few hours before the start of their four-game set with their hated rivals, the Giants announced that center fielder Harrison Bader […]
The San Francisco Giants took two out of three from their longtime rivals just about three weeks ago and it was one of those things where the team, having embarrassed itself across multiple games and a couple weeks, walked away from the wins as a sign that they’d turned a corner. We’ve all been so […]
Another Monday, another post wondering when the Dodgers offense will find itself. After grinding out three runs in a win against Chris Sale, he who had only allowed that many in his last four starts combined, they only mustered exactly two runs in the last two games of the series with the Braves. Both runs […]
Happy Monday, everyone, and a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all the BCB moms out there. We have a couple of big bits of news from over the weekend. The biggest is likely the unexpected May trade that sent Patrick Bailey from the Giants to the Cleveland Guardians. There has, naturally, been a fair bit […]
A busy week in the National League West was marked by a few All-Star starting pitchers getting sidelined, and a few roster shakeups among the under-.500 teams in the division. San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb, who led the National League in innings pitched in each of the last three seasons, including leading the majors […]
Jesus Rodriguez had a chance to end Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh in the 10th inning. The bases were loaded, Willy Adames had just come through with a 2-out, 2-RBI single to knot the Giants back up with the Pirates at six. All the Bay Area mothers, crowned under their inside-out rally caps and feted with […]
After 41 games, the Rockies are 16-25 (.390). That includes a much-improved road record of 8-14 on the road, but a 4-13 record against teams above .500, which might be expected. What might not be is the Rockies battling the Giants (16-24) last place in the NL West instead of claiming by a mile. With […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the McCoven who hopefully have better things to do than watch this dreadful baseball team. But if this is your chosen way of spending the day, then welcome, and may the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series for you. Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the […]
