The Dodgers' bats come alive in the sixth inning but not before Dustin May's struggles put them in a deep hole during an 8-7 loss to the rival San Francisco Giants.

At some point or another, just about anyone who calls themselves a Giants fan has probably fantasized about the prospect of Shohei Ohtani taking the mound at Oracle Park. In those dreams, the modern-day Babe Ruth is wearing orange and black. “Just for the theatrics of it, in this series, for our fans to be able to see him on the mound, it'll get everybody's attention,” manager Bob Melvin said before the Giants hosted their archrivals for the first time this season Friday night. Less than 24 hours after Melvin's comments before the first game of their series, Ohtani will stride out of the first-base dugout in gray and blue.

As the San Francisco Giants get set for a massive weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, they recently received some good news about their new star. After a bit of a struggle to end June, the Giants have been red-hot in July and will be hoping to continue that against the Dodgers before the All-Star break.

Willy Adames' consistency with the San Francisco Giants has been remarkable, and finally, the shortstop is being rewarded for it.

The San Francisco Giants already made what will likely be the biggest trade of the 2025 MLB regular season, acquiring Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox in a shocking blockbuster. Buster Posey has shown he is not afraid to make a splash as the new president of baseball operations, adding major money to the team's payroll with Devers and shortstop Willy Adames, who signed the largest contract in franchise history, at the time, as a free agent this past winter when the two sides agreed to a seven-year, $182 million deal.

The reigning World Series champion Dodgers head to San Francisco this weekend to take on National League West rival Giants. Despite still holding a comfortable lead in the division, the Dodgers come into the series on their worst skid of the season, and it's not getting any easier on Friday night. The Giants will send Logan Webb to the mound as he looks to continue what has been a dominant first half. Webb has been about as good as any pitcher in the senior circuit thus far, posting a 2.62 ERA with a career-best 9.95 strikeouts per nine

With a massive series coming against the Los Angeles Dodgers to wrap up the first half of the season, the San Francisco Giants will have their eyes on finding ways to improve. To start the year, the Giants weren't expected to be a contender in the National League after recent campaigns that were a bit lackluster. Buster Posey got aggressive early with a blockbuster trade that brought in Rafael Devers to help improve the lineup. With limited experience at first base and Matt Chapman being a Gold Glove Award winner at the hot corner, using the talented slugger at designated hitter makes sense.

The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed a relief pitcher off of waivers, reuniting with him after sending him away for Joe Kelly and Lance Lynn.

Giants trade top prospects to Diamondbacks for Merrill Kelly, strengthening San Francisco’s rotation for a playoff push in the NL West.

The San Francisco Giants are in the thick of the National League playoff hunt, sitting at 51-43 and holding the third wild card spot in a tightly contested NL West. With their offense bolstered by the headline-grabbing acquisition of Rafael Devers, the Giants' glaring weakness remains their starting rotation. Inconsistent performances from veterans like Justin Verlander (6.27 ERA since June 1) and unsteady outings from Hayden Birdsong (5.73 ERA since June 1) have left the team searching for stability on the mound. While much of the trade chatter around the Arizona Diamondbacks revolves around Zac Gallen, it's Merrill Kelly who emerges as the most realistic and impactful target for the Giants.

With one series left before the All-Star break, the San Francisco Giants will be trying to build momentum. The end of June was not great for the Giants, losing to a lot of teams that they are better than. While the star slugger will improve the lineup, San Francisco also needs some help in their starting rotation.
