LOS ANGELES -- Ignoring his career record against Los Angeles, Chris Stratton pitched six smooth innings Sunday to lead the Giants to a 4-1 victory at Dodger Stadium.
The outcome enabled the Giants to avoid being swept in the three-game series and sealed their record for their three-city trip at 4-6.
Stratton (8-4), the Giants' wins leader, entered the game with a 1-3 record and a 7.94 ERA in six games (five starts) against the Dodgers. The right-hander upgraded his performance by yielding only an unearned run on three hits and issuing one walk, helping him halt the Dodgers' five-game winning streak.
