After seeing their closer do something unseen this season, the San Franicsco Giants were able to end their three-city, 10-game road trip on a high note.

Pablo Sandoval and Hector Sanchez drove in runs in the top of the 10th inning, as the Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 at Dodger Stadium.

With the victory, the Giants ended their trip through Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles with a 7-3 record and now return home for the first time since April 29 to face the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins.

Hanley Ramirez sent the game into extra innings, as he hit a Sergio Romo hanging slider into the left field pavilion to tie up the game.

It was the first blown save of the season for Romo, who entered the bottom of the ninth inning 12-for-12 in save opportunities on the season.

After seeing their closer blow the save in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Giants did not waste anytime getting back on the board in the top of the 10th inning.

Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen came on in the top of the inning and promptly walked Angel Pagan, then Hunter Pence singled to center.

Jansen then unleashed a wild pitch that sent Pagan to third and Pence to second base, and it was decided to walk Buster Posey intentionally, Sandoval came to the plate.

Sandoval picked up his third hit of the afternoon in five at-bats to score Pagan and advance Pence and Posey an additional 90 feet.

Brandon Hicks struck out for the first out of the inning, and then Sanchez singled to left to score Pence from third and the bases stayed loaded.

Jansen was then replaced by J.P. Howell, but he was unable to keep the Giants at bay, as he unleashed a wild pitch with Michael Morse at the plate to score Posey with the third and final run of the inning.

Jean Machi came on to replace Romo in the bottom of the 10th inning, and was able to strike out Matt Kemp and then Andre Ethier grounded out; however the Dodgers did not go quietly.

Justin Turner walked, and then Scott Van Slyke singled to bring the tying run to the plate in the presence of Miguel Olivo.

Machi then did the unthinkable, as he threw a wild pitch that sent Turner to third and Van Slyke to second with two outs.

Olivo was unable to be the hero, as Machi struck out Olivo looking and the Giants left Los Angeles with a four and a half game lead over their rivals.

Sandoval got the Giants on the board in the top of the first inning, as he doubled in Pagan, who led off the game with a single off of Clayton Kershaw, who was making his season debut at Dodger Stadium.

Yasiel Puig tied up the game with one swing of the bat, as he planted a Tim Hudson pitch into the left field pavilion, a home run measured at 394 feet.

Hudson then gave up a double to Ramirez and then a single to Adrian Gonzalez that scored Ramirez and put the Dodgers into the lead ofr the first time on the afternoon.

That would be the score for a half-inning, as Brandon Hicks hit a two-run home run, measured at 414 feet off of Kershaw.

Sandoval came up with a huge hit in the inning, as he picked up his second hit of the game just prior to Hicks unloadig on a Kershaw pitch.

Posey gave the Giants what looked like a comfortable two-run lead, as he singled off of Chris Withrow in the top of the eighth inning to score Pagan, who walked and advanced to second on a Pence groundout.

Hudson went six innings, allowing two runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out two, as he did not fare in the decision.

Kershaw, who pitched in just his third game of the season after a stint on the disabled list, went seven innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, did not walk and a batter and struck out nine.
