Game twos are the honest ones. The first night of a series runs on adrenaline and bunting; by the next evening everyone in the building knows exactly what is at stake, and the noise changes shape — lower, tighter, more like a held breath than a cheer.
A five o'clock start in Chavez Ravine is its own small gift. The light comes in sideways over the pavilions for the first two innings, the palms on the ridge go black against it, and then the stadium lights take over somewhere around the fourth without anybody noticing the handoff. People who have sat through enough of these will tell you it is the best-looking hour of baseball in America, and they are not wrong about that.
Dodger Stadium, 1000 Vin Scully Avenue. First pitch 5:00 p.m. The rest of the city tends to hear the result before it sees any of it.
