Bumgarner homers off Kershaw again, but Dodgers win in 10th
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Madison Bumgarner hit another home run off Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw, but both aces were done by the time Charlie Culberson hit a go-ahead double in the 10th inning to lift Los Angeles over the San Francisco Giants 3-2 Saturday in a second straight extra-inning game in the rain.
Chris Hatcher (1-0) retired pinch-hitter Joe Panik on a called third strike to send the game into extras, then Kenley Jansen finished for his second save. The Dodgers were on the other side of a 3-2 result in 10 innings a night earlier.
Bumgarner struck out eight and Kershaw had five Ks in his eight innings for another impressive duel between the ace left-handers.
Bumgarner hit a solo homer off Kershaw in the second inning, his second in two seasons against his National League West rival.
George Kontos (0-1) gave up a one-out double to Corey Seager before Culberson's extra-base hit.
