 Bumgarner (18-9) moved into a tie for the major league lead in
wins while limiting the Dodgers to three hits and two walks with
nine strikeouts. Crawford went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs
scored while Ishikawa belted a pinch-hit three-run homer for the
Giants, who won their fourth straight and moved within one game of
Los Angeles in the National League West.
The Giants batted around in the first and scored four times against
Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-7), who was pulled before the second frame due to
left shoulder irritation. Matt Kemp went 0-for-4 and had his 16-game
hitting streak come to an end for the Dodgers, who were held to
three hits.
Crawford capped the Giants’ first-inning outburst with a run-scoring
double before adding a two-run homer in the fifth off Carlos Frias.
San Francisco drew clear in the seventh on Ishikawa’s three-run
homer into McCovey Cove off Kevin Correia.
Bumgarner retired his final seven batters in order and improved to
11-4 with a 2.36 ERA in 16 career starts against the Dodgers. Buster
Posey and Joaquin Arias each went 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored
for San Francisco, which won its 10th in a row at home.
