Dodgers capitalize on Giants’ physical and mental blunders to win 7-2

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:50 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — J.D. Martinez’s sacrifice fly drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers capitalized on two physical and one mental blunder by the San Francisco Giants to win 7-2 Thursday night in the series opener.The Giants have dropped six of seven on their road trip to fall further out of the NL wild-card race.Will Smith tripled off John Brebbia (3-1) and Martinez followed with the fly to right. Mike Yastrzemski wasn’t that deep when he caught the ball flat-footed and then held it for a moment, apparently forgetting there were only two outs.That gave Smith time enough to charge home for a 3-2 lead.“Yaz made a very uncharacteristic mental error,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “They usually don’t make those kind of mistakes.”Two wild pitches by reliever Luke Jackson led to two runs for the NL West champion Dodgers in the seventh.Jackson’s pitch went all the way to the backstop, allowing Chris Taylor to score from third after...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Dealing with a team as talented as the San Francisco 49ers is difficult enough in the best of circumstances. For the New York Giants, doing it without their best offensive playmaker and best offensive lineman proved to be too much to overcome.New York’s offense never managed to get going without Saquon Barkley and Andrew Thomas against San Francisco’s tenacious defense, with Daniel Jones spending much of the day on the run during a 30-12 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.“We didn’t create a rhythm, we didn’t execute, we didn’t take advantage of our opportunities,” Jones said. “Certainly it is a good defense, a good team, and so when you’re playing good teams, you can’t afford to do that. We didn’t play well enough. It was frustrating at times, but I felt like we were in the game really until the end and had chances to make plays really to the end.”Barkley is the focal point of New York’s offense and with him on the sideline with a sprai...
