~ Zach Greinke remained perfect against the San Francisco, in April and the season as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Giants, 7-3 Wednesday.

With Los Angeles, Greinke is now 6-0, 10-0 and 4-0 respectively as the Dodgers have now beat San Francisco twice in the past three games, both wins by similar scores.

The game was not looking like a sure win from the beginning. Both pitchers got off to a rocky start, Ryan Vogelsong’s more than Greinke’s.

The Giants’ best inning was the top of the fourth, but that was when Greinke started settling down.

For the rest of the game, Greinke only issued a walk and the bullpen only had a runner on base due to an error.

Vogelsong pitched three innings, giving up five hits and six runs.

Greinke pitched six innings, giving up seven hits and three runs while striking out six.

Greinke struck out three batters in the top of the first but San Francisco struck first. Nori Aoki led with a single and then with two outs, Buster Posey and Brandon Belt singled to bring Aoki in for the early 1-0 lead.

Vogelsong was victimized by the solo home runs again as he gave up two on early counts in the bottom of the inning. Joc Pederson led off with a homer, then Adrian Gonzalez homered with two outs and after a four pitch walk, Andre Ethier hit a two-run homer to make it 4-1.

Vogelsong retired the side in the second but then Jimmy Rollins led off with a homer on another early count in the third. The Giants exited the inning behind 6–1.

San Francisco then got on the home run board in the fourth. Casey McGehee led off with a double and then Crawford homered to cut the lead in half, 6–3. Greinke made three straight outs after.

The Giants took another step back as things did not start out well for relief pitcher George Kontos either in the fifth.  Grandal led off with a walk, Uribe doubled and Greinke had a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning. Kontos narrowly escaped without further damage, as he gave up another walk after and was falling behind to Rollins.

Game notes: Posey has still hit in every game versus Los Angeles so far, a six-game hitting streak. San Francisco’s Angel Pagan’s five-game hitting streak ended. The Giants will next host the Los Angeles Angels, starting on May Day at 7:15 PM.
