Streak Snapped: Giants Shut Out Dodgers 6-0 Behind Webb's Gem and Schmitt's Slam

• The Dodgers' six-game winning streak was snapped in a 6-0 shutout loss to the Giants.
• Giants starter Logan Webb pitched seven shutout innings, allowing only two hits.
• Casey Schmitt hit his first career grand slam off Clayton Kershaw in the third inning.
• Clayton Kershaw allowed five earned runs over 4.2 innings in his second start of the season.
• The Dodgers' offense was held to a season-low two hits and never had a runner reach third base.

All good things must come to an end, and for the Dodgers, their six-game winning streak came to a screeching halt on Saturday. In a humbling 6-0 defeat at the hands of the rival San Francisco Giants, the Boys in Blue were silenced on both sides of the ball, leaving Dodger Stadium in stunned silence as their potent offense was held to a season-low two hits.

'Clayton is still working his way back. He made some good pitches, but that one inning got away from him.' - Dave Roberts

One Inning, One Swing, and One Dominant Pitcher

The story of the game was written in the third inning. With the bases loaded, Giants infielder Casey Schmitt connected on a pitch from Clayton Kershaw for his first career grand slam, instantly turning a tight contest into a 4-0 Giants lead. That was all the support San Francisco starter Logan Webb needed. Webb was masterful, carving up the Dodgers' lineup for seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six. The Dodgers never threatened, failing to get a single runner past second base all evening.

Kershaw's Comeback Hits a Snag

Making just his second start of the season after returning from injury, all eyes were on Clayton Kershaw. While he showed flashes of his old self, a difficult third inning proved to be his undoing. The Giants tagged him for five earned runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the lefty is still finding his rhythm, noting postgame that while Kershaw made some good pitches, the one big inning was the difference. Fans will need to remain patient as the future Hall of Famer works his way back to form.

Offensive Firepower Fizzles Out

An offense that looked unstoppable during its six-game win streak was completely neutralized by Logan Webb and the Giants bullpen. The top of the order—Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman—was held hitless. Will Smith, who entered the game on a torrid streak, also went 0-for-the-night. The lack of production was stark and a reminder that even the most talented lineups can be shut down by elite pitching.

It was a night to forget, but it's just one game in a long season. The Dodgers (41-29) will have a chance to bounce back immediately and take the series against the Giants tomorrow. The key will be flushing this performance, getting the bats woken up, and providing some run support to get back in the win column.
