Giants vs Dodgers: a crucial road test from Marin to LA
The Giants come in at 18-25 as they travel to Los Angeles, hoping to steady a season that’s already tested their depth. The Dodgers are 25-18 and want to keep pace in a tough NL West.

His last outing was rough for San Francisco—a 13-3 loss to the Pirates. Roupp threw four innings, allowed one run on three hits, struck out eight, and walked three.
Emmet Sheehan starts for the Dodgers with a 4.79 ERA, a 3.81 FIP, 43 strikeouts, and 10 walks in 35.2 innings. Last time out, he pitched in the Dodgers’ 3-1 win over Atlanta, giving up one run on six hits, fanning seven, and walking one over 4 2/3 innings.
What this game means for Bay Area baseball fans
For Giants fans from downtown San Rafael to the hills of Mill Valley, this series is a chance to see how the club handles a tough Dodgers squad on the road. In Marin, baseball talk starts at drive-in coffee shops in Tiburon and spills into Sunday gatherings in Sausalito and Corte Madera, where fans debate Roupp’s command and Sheehan’s knack for strikeouts.
Honestly, a good showing in LA might help the Giants find some momentum as the season moves along. A tough series could just crank up the pressure on the pitching staff back in San Anselmo.
