7/21 Gamethread: Giants vs. Dodgers

Logan Webb vs. Julio Urías.

It’s time for the third game in the series between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers, and here’s hoping the Giants can shake off a very painful loss on Tuesday.

A win means the Giants will leave LA with the NL West lead, regardless of what happens on Thursday. A loss means the teams are tied atop the division.

So, win it is then. Glad that’s settled.
