Beating The Giants

The Dodgers beat the Giants and current Dodger killer Madison Bumgarner last night 3-1 behind the strong starting pitching of Hyun-Jin Ryu and and the hitting of Yasiel Puig. Ryu pitched 6 2/3 innings, only giving up one run but the win went to reliever Paco Rodriguez (2-2) and Puig hit a solo homer, his 7th, in the first and drove in the go ahead run in the eighth. Kenley Jansen got his fifth save on the season. There are reports off of Dodgers.com that Matt Kemp and Scott Van Slyke are on the mend and I see Van Slyke headed back to AAA Albuquerque thanks to the bat of Yasiel Puig. The Dodgers only have three true outfielders on the roster and I can't see them keeping five so Van Slyke is the odd man out. He also has options left whereas Skip Schumaker does not and Puig is the hottest hitter in baseball.
