Giants beat Dodgers, Kershaw

LOS ANGELES -- Hunter Pence and Buster Posey homered, and the San Francisco Giants ended a two-game skid with 4-3 victory over Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night at Dodger Stadium.

Christian Arroyo went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Giants.

Giants starter Johnny Cueto (4-1) allowed three runs on six hits, fanned six and walked one in seven innings.

Cueto retired 13 consecutive batters until Adrian Gonzalez opened the seventh with a single. Cody Bellinger followed with a bunt single before pinch hitter Chris Taylor's RBI hit cut the Giants' lead to 4-3. However, Cueto retired Andrew Toles on a grounder to end the inning.

Reliever Steven Okert pitched a hitless 1 2/3 innings before Derek Law recorded a one-out save by fanning Yasiel Puig. It was Law's first save since June 2016.

Kershaw (4-2) gave up four runs (three earned) on eight hits with five strikeouts and no walks in six innings. He threw 104 pitches, including 74 strikes.

Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 0-for-4 and had his 16-game hitting streak snapped.

After a one-out single by Arroyo in the first inning, Pence belted an off-speed pitch from Kershaw into the seats in left for a 2-0 Giants lead. It was Pence's second home run of the season.

In the bottom of the inning, Andrew Toles lined a leadoff single to left, advanced to second on a walk to Corey Seager and went to third on a deep drive to right by Turner.

Toles scored on a fielder's choice by Yasmani Grandal to pull the Dodgers within 2-1.

Bellinger led off the second with a double and came home on Kershaw's RBI single to left to tie the score at 2.

Posey's solo shot to right in the third boosted the Giants to a 3-2 advantage. It was his 10th homer of the season.

In the fifth, Arroyo's run-scoring hit drove in Gorkys Hernandez, who reached on an infield single and went to second on a Kershaw throwing error.

NOTES: Dodgers LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left hip contusion sustained sliding into second base during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
