In a surprising twist before the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants experienced a significant roster shakeup, trading for superstar Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox. This move sent young left-hander Kyle Harrison and right-hander Jordan Hicks along with two prospects to Boston. The Giants were forced to pivot quickly, with manager Bob Melvin calling on Sean Hjelle to start against a formidable Dodgers lineup that had been on a roll.

The Dodgers continued their hot streak, securing a 5-4 victory fueled by standout performances, including a three-run homer from Andy Pages and a solo shot from Tommy Edman. Dustin May had a mixed outing, struggling with command but eventually managing to navigate through a critical bases-loaded situation.
