SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez hit a tiebreaking home run leading off the ninth inning, Mookie Betts also homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Bo Davidson hit a tying sacrifice fly off Evan Phillips (3-2) with two outs in the eighth for San Francisco before Hern\u00e1ndez answered against Trent Harris (0-1) for his fourth homer.<\/p>\n
Tanner Scott closed out a second straight game, earning his 25th save.<\/p>\n
Betts homered with two outs in the third inning for his team’s first hit before Miguel Rojas and Tommy Edman added RBI singles the next two innings.<\/p>\n
Betts\u2019 blast to the bleachers in left-center sent the large contingent of Dodgers fans in the sellout crowd of 40,124 at Oracle Park into a frenzy on a beautiful sunny afternoon in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n
Shohei Ohtani, playing for a fourth straight day following a 13-game absence with right biceps discomfort, went 1 for 5 with two strikeouts after an 0-for-4 showing with three Ks on Friday night.<\/p>\n
When Camilo Doval pitched the seventh for San Francisco, he became the 71st player used by the club this season – matching Atlanta’s MLB record set last year.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles left-hander Blake Snell struck out three and didn\u2019t walk a batter, allowing one run on five hits over four innings in his final playoff tune-up.<\/p>\n
The Giants lost their fourth straight, seventh of eight and seventh in a row to the rival Dodgers after taking four of five in the series to start the year.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles earned its 14th shutout of the season in a 2-0 win Friday, then manager Dave Roberts rested first baseman Freddie Freeman and gave Hern\u00e1ndez a start. The Dodgers improved their majors-best road record to 48-32.<\/p>\n
Prior to Sunday’s regular-season finale, beloved Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow will be celebrated before he retires from the booth after nearly four decades. Dodgers opener Jack Dreyer (5-2, 3.16 ERA) faces Giants RHP Carson Seymour (0-2, 4.85).<\/p>\n
