LOS ANGELES (AP) — Andy Pages hit a game-turning three-run home run in the fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani had three hits and scored two runs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night.

The Dodgers trailed 3-2 when Ohtani and Mookie Betts singled to open the fifth. Freddie Freeman grounded out and Teoscar Hernández struck out, before Pages drove a slider from Giants reliever Ryan Walker into the left-center field pavilion for his 13th homer and a 5-3 lead.

Pages also had a sacrifice fly in the first, and Tommy Edman hit a solo homer in the second to help the Dodgers push their National League West lead to two games over San Francisco.

Dodgers right-hander Dustin May (4-4) overcame control problems to complete six innings in which he gave up three runs and six hits, walked four, hit two batters and struck out three. Tanner Scott struck out the side in the ninth for his 13th save.

Giants right-hander Sean Hjelle replaced scheduled starter Kyle Harrison, who was traded to Boston in the blockbuster deal for Rafael Devers about 20 minutes before first pitch, and allowed two runs and three hits in 3 2/3 innings. Reliever Joey Lucchesi (0-1), who replaced Harrison on the roster, took the loss.

Jung Hoo Lee capped a three-run fourth inning for the Giants with a two-run triple. Daniel Johnson pinch-hit a solo homer off Dodgers reliever Kirby Yates in the eighth.

The Giants had a chance to extend their 3-2 lead when they loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth, but May got Logan Porter to ground out to third, ending the inning.

Pages is batting .313 (25 for 80) with four homers and 17 RBIs in 21 games since May 24.

Dodgers right-hander Ben Casparius (4-1, 2.86 ERA) will start Monday night’s series opener against San Diego in Los Angeles. Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (8-1, 2.55) will start Tuesday night’s series opener against Cleveland in San Francisco.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City killed two people and injured six others Wednesday, police said.

The shooting took place in the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church.

Dozens of people were attending a funeral inside at the time. All the victims were adults.

Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith.

“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

Police also do not believe the shooting was random. Authorities said no suspect was in custody.

About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead.

“This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.

The church was cooperating with law enforcement and was grateful for efforts first responders' efforts, a spokesperson said.

“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” Sam Penrod said in a statement.

The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and about half of Utah’s 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Churches like the one where the shooting occurred can be found in towns throughout the city and state.

The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church last month and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against the church.
