The Dodgers faced the Giants in a much-anticipated matchup, featuring Yoshinobu Yamamoto against Logan Webb. However, only Webb lived up to the billing, allowing just two runs on two hits over seven innings, while Yamamoto struggled, giving up six runs in just 4 ⅔ innings, resulting in a 6-2 defeat for the Dodgers. This loss left both teams tied at 41-29 at the top of the National League West.

Webb showcased his skills, demonstrating precise command and the ability to limit baserunners, lowering his ERA to 2.58. On the other hand, Yamamoto's performance was concerning as he issued a career-high five walks and allowed a tie-breaking grand slam to Casey Schmitt. Once a dominant presence, Yamamoto’s recent struggles have seen his ERA rise to 2.64. Over his last seven starts, he’s posted a 4.46 ERA, with poor command being a recurring issue.
