Pair of Vegas products lead Dodgers in win
LOS ANGELES — Bishop Gorman product Joey Gallo blasted a go-ahead, three-run homer in the second inning, Max Muncy added a pair of solo shots and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3 on Tuesday night.
The NL West leaders improved to 11-4 against their rival this season. All of the game’s runs came on homers.
Muncy, who came in hitting .186, went 3 for 4 and drove in three runs.
Spring Valley High product Tyler Anderson (14-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out three and walked two. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth to earn his 22nd save.
Muncy doubled leading off the second and Justin Turner walked before Gallo’s 408-foot shot to the right-field pavilion off Jarlin García (1-4) put the Dodgers ahead, 3-1.
Gallo was acquired a month ago after a disastrous stint with the New York Yankees. The two-time All-star’s homer was his fourth with the Dodgers and 16th overall. He made a nifty diving catch in left field that saved two potential runs and ended the second.
The Dodgers extended their lead to 5-1 on Muncy’s two-out, two-run homer to the right-field pavilion on the first pitch from García in the third.
García gave up five runs and four hits in 1 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked one.
