SAN FRANCISCO-You knew Yasiel Puig would get to the San Francisco Giants sooner or later, and sooner became in the opener of the three-game series on Friday night.

Puig hit three triples and a double in his first four at-bats and ended up going 4-for-5, as he flew out to centerfield in his last at-bat, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Giants 8-1 before a sellout of 41,753, the 300th consecutive sellout at AT&TPark.

The Dodgers got to Tim Lincecum in the first inning, as Puig tripled to left-center field and then scored on an Adrian Gonzalez single.

After settling down from the second until the fourth innings, Lincecum got roughed up in the top of the fifth inning, as Zack Greinke got the hit party started, as he singled off of Lincecum, then Dee Gordon tripled and then Puig made three straight hits, as he tripled to score Gordon from third.

Gonzalez then singled score Puig and then Hanley Ramirez made it five hits in a row, as he singled to send Gonzalez to third and that was the end of the night for Lincecum.

Juan Gutierrez was able to put an end to the streak, as he got Carl Crawford to line out sharply to Michael Morse at first base for the second out; however Matt Kemp got into the hit parade, as he tripled to right-center field to score Gonzalez and Ramirez.

Puig’s fourth hit of the night, and third triple drove in Gordon, who singled with two outs against Gutierrez.

By hitting three triples in the game, Puig tied a Dodgers team that was set by Jimmy Sheckard on April 18, 1901 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The five triples ties a Dodgers team record that was set in 1921 at the Polo Grounds versus the Giants.

Greinke pitched a great game for the Dodgers, as he went seven innings, allowing zero runs on four hits, while walking one and striking out 10.

Four of Greinke’s strikeouts came in the bottom of the fourth inning, as he struck out Hector Sanchez, Hunter Pence, who reached on a Greinke wild pitch and then ended the inning by striking out Gregor Blanco.

Greinke became just the fifth Dodgers pitcher in team history to strikeout four players in an inning, joining Pete Richert, Don Drysdale, Darren Dreifort and Brad Penny.

The right-hander is just the 12th National League pitcher to strikeout all four batters in successive order, and the third Dodger (Richert and Drysdale).

Lincecum, who saved the Giants 14-inning victory on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park did not get out of the fifth inning, as he went 4.1 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits, walking two and striking out six.

Dan Uggla made his Giants debut, and went 0-for-2 versus Greinke.

Uggla was not the only new Giants player on the roster when the game began, as Tony Abreu was also recalled from Fresno along with Uggla.

Both Ehire Adrianza and Marco Scutaro were placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to the game.

Adrianza was placed on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain, and Scutaro went back on the disabled list with a lower back strain.

To make room for Abreu and Uggla on the 40-man roster, the Giants designated left-handed pitcher Jose DePaula and infielder Nick Noonan for assignment.

Sanchez was forced to leave the game after getting hit in the catcher’s mask and that sent Morse to first base, Buster Posey to catch and Tyler Colvin entered the game in left field.

Ramirez finished off the scoring for the Dodgers in the top of the eighth inning, as he singled off of George Kontos to pinch hitter Andre Ethier, who walked to leadoff the inning.

Colvin broke up the shutout in the bottom of the ninth inning, as he singled to right field off of Paul Maholm to score Joaquin Arias from third base.
