Dodgers Rally Past Giants 13-7 in Wild Comeback at Oracle Park

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14, 2025 - The Los Angeles Dodgers erased a 4-1 deficit by exploding for six runs in the fifth inning and went on to defeat the San Francisco Giants, 13-7, Saturday night at Oracle Park.

The five-time defending champions capitalized on Giants starter Logan Webb’s early struggles and seized control with a six-run outburst. The loss drops San Francisco a half-game back in the NL wild-card race.

Giant Opening Sparks Dubious Hope

The Giants struck first against Clayton Kershaw, plating four runs in the opening inning on errors and timely hitting. Webb, who had dominated the Dodgers this season, yielded five runs in three innings before departing with a 6.16 ERA.

Dodgers’ Fifth-Inning Surge

• Shohei Ohtani launched a 454-foot homer to center field in the third, cutting San Francisco’s lead to 4-2.
• Teoscar Hernández delivered a two-run double in the decisive fifth, part of a six-run frame that included an RBI single by Mookie Betts.
• Jerar Encarnación added an RBI groundout later in the game, while Patrick Bailey’s two-run double trimmed the Giants’ deficit in a brief rally.

Bullpen Battles and Late Drama

Edgardo Henriquez struck out the side in the fourth to keep Los Angeles within one run. After the fifth, the Dodgers tacked on runs in the sixth and ninth, capped by Freddy Freeman’s RBI double. Despite Bailey’s hot bat, the Giants’ bullpen surrendered nine earned runs, extinguishing any comeback bid.

What’s Next

The series concludes Sunday, with Tyler Glasnow set to start for the Dodgers against San Francisco’s Robbie Ray. The Giants aim to rebound and stay in contention for the final wild-card spot.
