Shohei Ohtani hit his NL-leading 53rd home run, Max Muncy, Michael Conforto and Tommy Edman added homers of their own and the Los Angeles Dodgers made it three straight over the visiting San Francisco Giants with a 7-5 triumph Saturday night.
After rallying from a four-run deficit to win for the fourth straight time, the Dodgers (88-67) retained a four-game lead over the San Diego Padres (84-71) atop the National League West with just seven games remaining.
The loss prevented the Giants (76-79) from gaining a game on the New York Mets (80-75), who lost to the Nationals earlier Saturday, in the NL wild-card race. San Francisco stayed four games back with seven to go.
