For the San Francisco Giants, Tyler Mahle delivered one of his most effective outings of the season, going toe-to-toe with Shohei Ohtani in a tightly contested matchup.

The right-hander tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out four. That helped the Giants come away with a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The performance stood out even more considering Mahle’s recent struggles, including a difficult start against the Cincinnati Reds in which he surrendered eight runs. This time, however, he showed improved command and composure.

While he issued a pair of walks, they did not translate into damage, as he consistently worked out of trouble and kept the Dodgers' lineup off balance.

Ohtani Silences Giants Bats

On the other side, Ohtani was equally dominant through the first six innings. He held the Giants scoreless, allowing five hits while striking out seven. Mixing velocity with sharp secondary pitches, Ohtani neutralized San Francisco’s lineup and prevented any sustained offensive momentum.

For much of the night, it appeared the game could come down to a single swing as both starters controlled the pace and limited opportunities.

Bailey Delivers the Breakthrough

That defining moment came in the seventh inning. With Ohtani out of the game, Patrick Bailey capitalized on the opportunity, launching a three-run home run off Jack Dreyer to give the Giants a 3-0 lead.
