Los Angeles ended a scoreless game with a run in the sixth after Yasiel Puig led off with a double. Puig, ejected Tuesday after a scuffle with Giants catcher Nick Hundley, took third on a flyout and scored on pinch-hitter Joc Pederson's sacrifice fly.

The Dodgers added two more in the seventh against reliever Ray Black. Justin Turner walked and scored on Manny Machado's double. Matt Kemp singled in Machado to give Los Angeles a 3-0 lead.
