Matt Kemp’s two-run homer off Barry Zito in the first helped the Dodgers break in front 3-0, but the Giants got a run back in the second on Pablo Sandoval’s homer, another in the sixth on three two-out singles, and tied it with Pat Burrell’s leadoff shot in the seventh. Los Angeles answered right back as with a four spot keyed by four hits by the five batters who faced Dan Runzler. In the top of the eighth, Hong-Chi Kuo got two outs sandwiched around a double and a walk. Matt Guerrier came on and walked consecutive batters to force in a run, but Miguel Tejada fouled out on the first pitch he saw to end the threat. Aaron Rowand led off the ninth with a pinch-hit homer off Jonathan Broxton, but Aubrey Huff and Buster Posey both grounded out as the potential tying run and the Dodgers held on 7-5.
