Final Thoughts: The Giants offensive woes continued until the 11th, when Gorkys Hernandez opened a 3-run inning with a double.scoring Joe Panik.  But it was Jeff Samardzija who pitched his best game of 2017, despite the no decision.  As for Dodgers, they were not hitting tonight, but the pitching until it couldn't hold the Giants anymore.
