The final game of this series was an afternoon game, fortunately. I had feared that ESPN would make it the Sunday Night Baseball game which would have moved it to 5pm which would have clashed with the 49ers home opener against the Bears.
The Dodgers had their ace, Clayton Kershaw, pitching in this game against one of our better pitchers, Yusmeiro Petit. This game was much more of a contest than the previous two, as it wasn't a blow-out either way. The Dodgers scored first, however, and then the Giants fought back and managed to raise Kershaw's ERA and chase him after 8 innings(!) Jansen got the save in the 9th as the Dodgers took the game 4-2, which was a shame, as we had chances throughout the game.
All three of these games have been surprisingly slow for National League games. All of them have been over three hours, some of them significantly more than three hours.
