Dodgers squander momentum in a 5-1 loss to the Giants, despite Yamamoto’s seven strong innings and Conforto’s seventh-inning homer that briefly tied the game. LA went 0-for-5 with RISP, stranding several baserunners as Verlander stymied the lineup. Tanner Scott’s 10th-inning meltdown, capped by Patrick Bailey’s grand slam, burned the night. Key miscues—Rortvedt’s baserunning, Pages’ bobble, and missed chances—reignite questions about bullpen handling. Sasaki could rejoin soon, keeping LA in control of the West.
