Giants Extend Dodgers Losing Streak to Seven in NL West Clash

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-7, extending the Dodgers' losing streak to seven games, their worst since 2017, and narrowing the NL West division gap to four games. Willy Adames was pivotal for the Giants, hitting a solo home run and a two-run triple during a five-run fifth inning that significantly shifted the momentum. Dominic Smith and Jung Hoo Lee also contributed key RBIs, with Lee finishing the night with three RBIs. Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd home run of the season for the Dodgers, including a two-run shot into McCovey Cove, but Los Angeles struggled with pitching, as starters Dustin May and Logan Webb were both charged with multiple runs. Giants closer Camilo Doval secured the win with his 15th save by inducing a game-ending double play despite late Dodgers rallies. The game featured intense defensive plays and strategic moments, including a challenged call at home plate upheld on review, underscoring the fierce rivalry and playoff implications as the Giants gain ground.
