"Eldridge, 20, hadn't been rewarded for the hard contact he made in his first three games in the majors. In his third career plate appearance, he smashed a 409-foot, 105.9-mph line drive that got caught. During the first game of this series, his 102.4 mph line drive found a glove. In his 11th plate appearance, Eldridge finally earned a batting average."
"The Giants loaded the bases in the top of the first against Tyler Glasnow on a pair of singles from Heliot Ramos and Willy Adames, as well as a walk drawn by Matt Chapman. That brought Eldridge to the plate with an opportunity to make his first mark on the rivalry."
"Glasnow challenged Eldridge with a 96.5 mph sinker; Eldridge let the heater travel and sent it off the base of the left-field wall. Ramos scored easily, as did Adames. Chapman, with the help of a bobble and bad throw by left fielder Michael Conforto, scored from first. Eldridge, himself, scored several batters later when Drew Gilbert drew a bases-loaded walk."
The Giants produced an early crooked number again, scoring four runs in the first inning with three driven in by Bryce Eldridge. Eldridge, 20, had earlier hard-contact line drives that were caught, then delivered a bases-clearing double off Tyler Glasnow for his first major-league hit and multiple RBIs. The Giants led 4-0, but Los Angeles answered with seven unanswered runs, including a two-run homer by Max Muncy, and ultimately hit four homers in the game. The loss continued a pattern of early leads slipping away for the Giants (76-79).
