The Los Angeles Dodgers failed to hit the ball hard against Spencer Bivins in the 11th yet broke the game open. That’s how the Giants will enter the All-Star break, pondering the breaks of baseball after a 5-2, 11-inning loss to the Dodgers on Sunday at Oracle Park.

Shortstop Willy Adames went 1 for 3, hit a solo homer and drove in three runs. He totaled seven RBIs in the series against the A’s. Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores each had two hits and scored once.

It took longer than he would have liked, but Willy Adames finally appears to be hitting his stride at the plate for the Giants.

In the 11th, the Dodgers scored three times — a bloop run-scoring single by Freddie Freeman, an infield single on a chopper by Teoscar Hernandez which drove in a run, and a bloop RBI single to right by Andy Pages. That made Bivins (2-3), a hard-luck loser.

Drew Rasmussen, a former Brewers rookie who was traded in 2021 to the Rays, is headed to his first All-Star Game.

The San Francisco Giants can bolster their infield with a young star with their first-round pick in the 2025 MLB draft.
