Michael Conforto contributed a two-RBI, pinch-hit single to a four-run fifth inning, Tyler Glasnow pitched effectively into the seventh and the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a second consecutive road win over the San Francisco Giants with a 10-2 thumping Sunday afternoon.
Teoscar Hernandez collected four hits while Conforto, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman all finished with three for the Dodgers (84-65), who needed the win to remain 2 1/2 games up in the National League West over the San Diego Padres (82-68), who won at home over the Colorado Rockies.
San Francisco’s loss, coupled with Arizona’s 6-4 win at Minnesota earlier in the day, narrowed the gap between the Giants (75-74) and the Diamondbacks (75-75) for fourth place in the NL wild card race on the eve of a three-game head-to-head in Arizona.
After the Dodgers had built an early 2-1 lead, the visitors knocked out Giants starter Robbie Ray (11-7) when Freeman doubled home Betts, who had walked, with no outs in the fifth.
Reliever Joel Peguero then walked Tommy Edman to load the bases, before Conforto was summoned from the bench and delivered his two-run hit to right field.

 

Edman was later awarded home plate on a disengagement violation on Peguero, capping a four-run uprising that gave LA a 6-1 lead.
Ray was charged with five of the six runs in his four-plus innings. He gave up six hits and four walks while striking out five.
Glasnow (3-3) kept the Giants at arm’s length for the duration of his 108-pitch effort, calling it a day after allowing just one run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out four.
Miguel Rojas helped break the game open with a two-run single in the sixth, and Conforto completed a three-RBI day with a run-scoring single in the eighth.
Betts scored three times, while Hernandez, Freeman and Edman tallied twice for the visitors, who out-hit the Giants 18-5. Edman, with a pair of singles, was a fifth Dodger with multiple hits.
Wilmer Flores had two hits and an RBI for the Giants in a game in which there were no home runs.
