Thankfully for the Giants (and for the reputation of in-game interviews), the communication issue did not affect the game. Giants starter Robbie Ray retired the Dodgers in order in the sixth inning without the ball being hit in Chapman's direction. The Dodgers ultimately beat the Giants 5-2 in 11 innings.

The Giants are looking to finish the unofficial first half of the season on a high note as Robbie Ray takes on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. San Francisco won Friday night’s series opener, staving off a comeback attempt by the Dodgers, then lost Saturday as Shohei Ohtani made his pitching debut in the rivalry.
