Clayton Kershaw and Johnny Cueto may have stumbled out of the starting gate, but each lived up to their billing in one of the better pitching duels of the season. But Friday night's game was decided by the bullpens, with Justin Turner hitting a home run to left field against Santiago Casilla in the ninth inning to give the Dodgers a 3-2 win over the Giants in the opener of a three-game series at AT&T Park
The home run made a winner out of Kershaw, and brought the Dodgers to within three games in the National League West.
