[...] yet when Jeremy Affeldt took the mound to begin the eighth inning Thursday, he felt a few butterflies. "After you've been dealing with injuries, in the back of your mind, you just wonder if everything's going to feel the same," said catcher Buster Posey, who knows a thing or two about coming back from an injury. [...] he retired his final five hitters, including getting Scott Van Slyke to bounce into a 1-6-5-4 double play that erased Gonzalez at third. The Dodgers' Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-1) limited the Giants to four hits in seven scoreless innings. On April 4, San Francisco got to Ryu for eight runs (six earned) in two innings in an 8-4 win in the Dodgers' home opener. Beginning with their division-clinching victory on the final day of the 2010 season, the Giants have won 36 of their past 56 games against San Diego.

Denver Post, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 09:37 PM
Foul trouble is rarely a blessing in disguise. It might’ve helped the Timberwolves steal a road game in the first chapter of what’s sure to be a bitterly competitive series. NBA Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid played prolonged fourth-quarter minutes with Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble, and his 10-point burst in the last six minutes handed the Nuggets a 106-99 Game 1 loss on Saturday night.
