Joc Pederson's two-run homer in the eighth narrowed San Francisco's lead to a lone run before Panik hit another run-scoring single in the bottom of the inning. Hunter Pence's subsequent grand slam made the score lopsided. The Dodgers initially controlled the game, building a 4-0 lead through their half of the fifth. Adrian Gonzalez was Giants starter Jake Peavy's primary tormentor as he doubled twice, drove in a run and scored another.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Nice (twice) piece of hitting: The Giants relied on slugging in their season-opening series at Milwaukee, homering in each game.
