They settle for a split.
The Los Angeles Dodgers began their four-game series against the San Francisco Giants sputtering, but they managed to salvage the final game of the series on Thursday with a 5-2 final.
Emmet Sheehan Tosses Best Outing, But Hernandez's Mishap Creates Dent
Coming off a one-run in 4 2/3 innings performance against the mighty Atlanta Braves six days ago, Sheehan continued his hot hand on Thursday night against the Giants.
The series finale against San Francisco was no doubt his best outing of 2026.
Even amidst the fluctuations of his fastball velocity jumping up and down between each start, Thursday proved to be a constant for him.
Sheehan tossed six quality innings against the Giants, striking out six while only giving up two hits and two earned runs.
Those two runs were the result of a Teoscar Hernandez misread in left field.
In the top of the fifth and a runner on first, Jung Hoo Lee poked Sheehan's 0-2 fastball to left field — which barely stayed fair — and Hernandez was unable to play the bounce.
The ball somehow got by Hernandez and traveled behind him all the way to the left-field wall. With the speedy Lee running the bases, he was able to slide into home with a two-run inside-the-park home run. That tied the ballgame at 2-2.
Other than that slight blemish, Sheehan's stuff on the mound was the best that it's been through his past seven starts. His fastball consistently stayed around 95 mph and his breaking slider picked up seven of the 14 whiffs he generated.
