Los Angeles, Sept. 19: RBI doubles by Fred Lewis and Eugenio Velez put San Francisco in front in the sixth inning Friday, boosting the Giants past the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4.

San Francisco inched within 2 1/2 games of Colorado for the lead in the National League wild-card race. The Dodgers maintained a five-game cushion over Colorado in the NL West.

The Giants let an early 4-1 lead get away, but moved back in front in the sixth on a series of extra-base hits against reliever Ramon Troncoso (4-4).

Travis Ishikawa produced a one-out double to center and Lewis then came through with a two-out double to left that drove in Ishikawa and made it 5-4. Velez took a strike from Troncoso before hitting a double to left that brought in Lewis.

Cincinnati, Aug. 19: Ryan Garko's two-run double in the 10th inning Tuesday drove in the winning run in San Francisco's 8-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Garko, who had tied the game with a two-run single in the sixth, brought Pablo Sandoval and Randy Winn in from second and third and then scored on Aaron Rowand's single.

The damage came against Francisco Cordero (1-3), who took the loss after giving up three runs on three hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.

Bob Howry (1-5) picked up the win in relief of Giants ace Tim Lincecum, who gave up five runs on four hits and three walks in six innings. Brian Wilson earned his 29th save.

Pittsburgh, July 17: Garrett Jones launched the second pitch of the 14th inning for his second homer of the game Friday, giving Pittsburgh a 2-1 victory over San Francisco.

Jones also homered in the first inning and Pittsburgh managed only four other hits until he drove an 0-1 pitch over the wall in right off Bob Howry (0-5).

The Pirates halted a four-game losing streak and handed the Giants their second straight setback.

San Francisco tied it in the seventh when Randy Winn raced in from third on a two-out fielding error by second baseman Freddy Sanchez. That miscue spoiled a sensational effort by starter Paul Maholm, who allowed four hits and struck out seven over eight innings.
