Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports Teoscar Hernandez drove in all three Dodgers runs, including a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, as Los Angeles increased its post All-Star break winning streak to four games with a 3-2 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Monday.
Hernandez added a solo home run in the fourth inning while Dodgers rookie right-hander River Ryan pitched into the sixth inning of his major league debut.
Tyler Fitzgerald extended his home run streak to four consecutive games for the Giants, while left-hander Blake Snell gave up two runs over six innings in his third consecutive scoreless start since returning from a groin injury.
The Giants were unable to take advantage of a shaky first inning from Ryan when Jorge Soler walked to lead off the game and LaMonte Wade Jr. followed with a single to left. But Soler was thrown out trying to advance to third base on the hit and Ryan went on to retire the next eight batters he faced.
The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Wade walked, advanced to third base with two outs and scored on a passed ball by Dodgers catcher Will Smith.
The Dodgers got the run back in the bottom of the fourth inning when Hernandez hit a home run to left field, his 21st of the season and second in two games. They were his first two home runs since winning the Home Run Derby last week at Arlington, Texas.
The Giants put runners on first and third in the sixth inning with one out before Ryan departed to a standing ovation. Left-hander Alex Vesia got out of the jam by striking out Luis Matos and Matt Chapman.
Ryan gave up an unearned run on four hits over 5 1/3 innings with three walks and two strikeouts.
Hernandez put the Dodgers on top 2-1 in the sixth inning with a single to score Freddie Freeman.
The Giants got the game even again at 2-2 in the seventh inning when Fitzgerald hit a one-out home run off left-hander Ryan Yarbrough. Fitzgerald became the first Giants player to hit a home run in four consecutive games since Brandon Belt in May of 2018.
Hernandez's go-ahead single in the eighth came against right-hander Randy Rodriguez. Left-hander Erik Miller (3-3) took the loss after giving up a leadoff double to Enrique Hernandez leading off the eighth. Enrique Hernandez scored on Teoscar Hernandez's hit.
Dodgers right-hander Blake Treinen (4-2) earned the win with a scoreless eighth inning Daniel Hudson pitched a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.
