SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants signed Austin Jackson as a free agent on Jan. 22. But he didn't officially join the ballclub until Saturday night, when his bases-loaded double in the fifth inning leapfrogged the Giants ahead in the score and propelled them to an 8-3 triumph over the archrival Dodgers, securing a split of a day-night doubleheader.
After losing the twin-bill opener, 15-6, the Giants trailed Los Angeles, 2-0, in the nightcap when singles by Brandon Belt, Kelby Tomlinson and Brandon Crawford loaded the bases in the fifth inning against Dodgers starter Alex Wood.
