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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edman was later awarded home plate on a disengagement violation on Peguero, capping a four-run uprising that gave LA a 6-1 lead.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
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.<\/section>\n
Wilmer Flores had two hits and an RBI for the Giants in a game in which there were no home runs.<\/section>\n
