Wednesday BP: Giants have some fun in LA

Just not too much fun.

The San Francisco Giants brought some serious energy to Southern California on Tuesday night, cruising to a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Here’s a stat that’ll make you do a double-take: the Giants are now 4-1 against the two-time defending champions this season—but just 14-23 against everyone else. Talk about saving their best for the biggest stage.

The win came courtesy of the long ball, with three solo home runs—all from the bottom of the lineup. Backup catcher Eric Haase stole the show, smashing two homers off Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. That’s a feat nobody else in the Majors has pulled off this year, and it might just be the most unlikely highlight of the Giants’ season so far.

But the fun didn’t stop on the field. After Monday’s series opener, outfielders Harrison Bader, Jung Hoo Lee, and especially Drew Gilbert (no surprises there) got a little too playful in their celebrations, indulging in some locker-room antics that raised eyebrows. Tuesday night, though, it was all business. The trio kept things so professional that fans couldn’t help but wonder what changed.

Turns out, the party got a quiet shutdown. Giants beat reporters dug into the mystery, and the word is that a call came from higher up—either from president of baseball operations Buster Posey or the league office. Either way, the message was clear: keep the wins coming, but keep the celebrations PG.

For now, the Giants are having fun—just as much as they’re allowed to have. And with a 4-1 record against the champs, who can blame them for wanting to let loose?
