Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants

Tony Vitello hasn’t been getting out much since he took over as the Giants’ new manager. “I've been in hiding,” Vitello said. “I'm holding out for some more wins.” The Giants haven’t gotten off to the best start this year, but picking up a W against the rival Dodgers certainly figures to boost Vitello’s reputation around town. Behind a gutsy performance from right-hander Landen Roupp, the Giants (10-13) beat the two-time defending World Series champions, 3-1, in Tuesday night’s series opener at Oracle Park. San Francisco took advantage of defensive miscues to nick Los Angeles ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto for three runs in the first inning, providing some early breathing room for Roupp, who allowed one run on one hit over five innings to lower his ERA to 2.28 over five starts this year. Roupp struck out seven, but he lost his feel for the zone in the fourth inning and ended up issuing a season-high five walks. Four of those free passes came in his 32-pitch fourth inning, including a bases-loaded walk to Hyeseong Kim that forced in the Dodgers’ lone run of the game. Still, Roupp managed to limit the damage by inducing a 5-4-3 double play from Alex Call to end the inning. “I’m not really sure what happened,” Roupp said. “I kind of just felt like I was speeding up a little bit. I was able to get a double play out of that and get out of the inning. But I’m definitely not happy about that.”
