The San Francisco Giants held off a late surge to defeat the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers 8-7 on Friday night at Oracle Park, handing their rivals a seventh consecutive loss – their longest skid since September 2017. Willy Adames led the way with a triple, a home run, and three RBIs, while Dominic Smith added a solo shot and Jung Hoo Lee chipped in with three RBIs of his own. Matt Chapman scored twice as the Giants, winners of seven of their last nine, trimmed the Dodgers’ NL West lead to just four games.
