Wilmer Flores returned to the San Francisco Giants lineup and was looked fantastic in doing so against a tough pitcher.

Flores went 3-for-3 with a run batted in and two runs scored, as the Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-6 at Dodger Stadium.

In his first at-bat against Julio Urias, as he led off the top of the second inning, Flores singled and then eventually the first Giants run of the afternoon, Mauricio Dubon hit a two-run single that gave the Giants the lead for good against the defending World Champions.

Flores then led off the top of the third inning with his second single in as many at-bats and then scored, when Donovan Solano hit a two-run home run to increase the Giants up to 5-2.

The Giants broke the game wide open in the top of the fourth inning, as Mike Yastrzemski doubled off of Urias with two outs in the inning, then Evan Longoria started his big day, as he singled to right field that scored Yastrzemski and Longoria then advance to second base on a fielding error by Dodgers catcher Will Smith.

Longoria then scored the second run of the inning, when you guessed Flores came up to pick up his third hit in as many at-bats that stretched the lead up to five runs.

After Flores drove in Longoria with his third single of the day, the Dodgers began to chip away at the Giants lead, as Max Muncy once again went deep, as he hit his 12th home run of the season deep into right-center field bleachers.

Albert Pujols, who just missed giving the Dodgers an improbable come-from-behind victory, when his home run was robbed when Mike Tauchman reached over the wall to take away what would have been his 668th home run got some revenge, as doubled to left field to score Cody Bellinger, who returned to the Dodgers lineup after missing the last two months due to a broken leg.

The Giants extended the lead in the top of the seventh inning, as Steven Duggar hit a two-run double that scored Lamonte Wade, Jr. and Brandon Crawford.

Longoria picked up his second hit of the day in the top of the eighth inning, as he hit his eighth home run of the season into the left-center field bleachers.

Dubon drove in his third run of the afternoon, as he hit a sacrifice fly that scored Solano for the Giants final run of the afternoon.

After missing out on a home run on Friday night, Pujols hit his seventh home run of the season and second as a member of the Dodgers that landed in the Dodger bullpen.

Justin Turner gave the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, as he doubled off of Logan Webb that scored Gavin Lux.

Webb went five innings, as he returned to the rotation after being activated from 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

In those five innings of work, Webb allowed two runs on one hit, did not walk a batter and struck out seven and won for the fourth time on the season.

On the other side of things, Urias, who picked up his first ever win at Oracle Park in his last start this past Sunday, was knocked around by the Giants, as he went five innings, allowing seven runs on a career worst 11 hits, walking two and striking out five and saw his record fall to 7-2 on the season.

Despite going 2-for-4 at the plate and scoring three runs, Solano committed his first two errors of the season that helped the Dodgers score an unearned run in the bottom of the second inning.

Matt Beaty reached on a fielding error by Solano and Zach McKinstry reached on a fielders choice that saw Beaty go to third base, when the McKinstry ball went through the legs of Solano. Urias helped out his own cause, as he dropped a perfect sacrifice bunt that scored Beaty from third base.

NOTES: Prior to the game, the Giants activated both Flores and Webb, who both came up huge for the Giants on Saturday afternoon. To make room for the duo, the Giants optioned Nick Tropeano and Jason Vosler to Sacramento.

The Giants are now 14-6 in day games this season, tying the Rays for the best record in day games this season.

UP NEXT: Kevin Gausman goes for the Giants in the series finale, while the Dodgers will send Clayton Kershaw to the mound.
