Giants give Dodgers a reality check

LOS ANGELES -- It's not like the Los Angeles Dodgers haven't been down this path before. As bad as they looked in the batter's box and in the field during Monday night's 5-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants that was stretched over 13 dramatic innings, it wasn't nearly as bad as the 9-0 thumping they took at AT&T Park 10 days ago.How'd that turn out in the end?The Dodgers rebounded in San Francisco to play two of their more impressive games of the year and take the series against the Giants and set themselves up in the position they're in now: just needing a little extra push to get over the top.
