Blake Treinen gives up walk-off home run to Giants as 3 notable Dodgers streaks end

SAN FRANCISCO — Three Los Angeles Dodgers streaks came to a crashing halt with one sweet swing of the bat from San Francisco second baseman Brett Wisely, whose two-run home run off reliever Blake Treinen in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the San Francisco Giants a 5-3 walk-off win in front of a sellout crowd of 40,052 in Oracle Park.

Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani’s streak of 10 consecutive games with an RBI came to an end. So did the quirky streak of the Dodgers winning their first 24 games in which shortstop Miguel Rojas gets a hit. Also falling was the Dodgers’ four-game win streak.

The Giants took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth on Matt Chapman’s two-run home run off Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson, and they handed that lead to hard-throwing closer Camilo Doval in the top of the ninth.

But Andy Pages smacked Doval’s second pitch, a 99.5-mph fastball, toward the gap in left-center, where center fielder Heliot Ramos got his glove on the ball with a lunge but couldn’t hold on, the ball rolling to the wall for a leadoff triple. Jason Heyward followed with a sacrifice fly to left to tie the score 3-3.

The Dodgers scored twice in the top of the fifth off Giants starter Logan Webb for a 2-0 lead, a rally that began with a Rojas single to right field and a Gavin Lux RBI double to the wall in left-center.

Lux took third on a wild pitch, Cavan Biggio struck out looking, and Ohtani, one of baseball’s hottest hitters, was intentionally walked to put two on with one out for struggling catcher Will Smith, who was mired in a two-for-36 slump (.056) before lining an RBI single to center.

 

The Giants got one run back in the bottom of the fifth when Luis Matos hit a one-out solo homer to left-center off Dodgers starter Landon Knack. Wisely singled to right and took third on Jorge Soler’s two-out single to right, but left-hander Anthony Banda replaced Knack and got LaMonte Wade Jr. to ground to second, ending the inning.

Hudson, who was 4-1 with a 1.71 ERA, three saves and 12 holds in 32 games, replaced Banda to start the sixth. Ramos led off with a chopper to the right of first baseman Freddie Freeman, but the ball squirted out of his glove, and Freeman’s throw to Hudson at first was late on a play that was ruled an error.

Hudson got Patrick Bailey to fly to left for the first out, but he left a 95-mph fastball middle-in to Chapman, who crushed a 414-foot homer that left his bat at 110.5 mph to left-center for a 3-2 Giants lead.

Knack gave the Dodgers 42/3 solid innings in which the rookie right-hander allowed one run and five hits, struck out seven and walked none to lower his ERA to 2.08 in 301/3 innings over six starts this season.
