Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Alex Vesia pointed at himself after the Dodgers’ 9-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday.

Vesia entered Monday’s game with the score knotted at three, but found himself in trouble pretty quickly. After a strikeout to kick off the inning, the Giants recorded three consecutive singles to load the bases. Vesia issued a walk to Rafael Devers, giving the Giants a one run lead before Will Klein relieved him.

The damage didn’t stop there, though, as Willy Adames knocked in two more runs with a single to further extend the Giants advantage. Vesia earned a loss for the performance, recording just one out and allowing three earned runs.

“Got the first guy out, and then three consecutive hits, two of them were middle. So I just need to be better with the fastball,” Vesia said. “Obviously I’ve pitched against them a lot, so I need to be better.
