Willy Adames, Jung Hoo Lee each drive in three runs as Giants send Dodgers to seventh straight loss
San Francisco pulled within four games of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West.
Dominic Smith homered leading off the fifth after Jung Hoo Lee's two-run triple in the fourth put San Francisco ahead against Dustin May (5-6). Lee beat out an infield single in the fifth to drive in another run.
Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd home run of the season into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall for a go-ahead two-run shot in the third inning.
Ohtani connected after Hyeseong Kim's leadoff single marked the first hit of the night against Logan Webb (9-6), who walked Ohtani in a nine-pitch battle to begin the game and finished with six runs, six hits and six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings.
Camilo Doval allowed Mookie Betts' single then walked Freddie Freeman before getting Will Smith to ground into a game-ending double play for his 15th save.
Ohtani crushed a 91.1 mph cutter on Webb's first offering of the at-bat and the ball traveled 410 feet.
The Dodgers have their worst losing streak since Sept. 2-11 2017, when they dropped 11 in a row.
May, who beat the Giants on June 15, was tagged for seven earned runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Key play
Following his triple, Lee was called out at home on a fly by Casey Schmitt and a sensational throw by left fielder Conforto. The Giants challenged the call and it was upheld on review.
Key stat
Ohtani's blast marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park's 25-year history and 171st in all — 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds.
Ohtani (0-1, 1.50 ERA) pitches Saturday opposite Giants RHP Landen Roupp (6-5, 3.39).

Freddie Freeman's bloop single in 11th starts winning rally as Dodgers beat Giants 5-2
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Freddie Freeman blooped a single into shallow right-center with two outs in the 11th inning to score James Outman for the go-ahead run, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Sunday for a winning series, one day after snapping a season-worst, seven-game losing streak. Spencer Bivens (2-3) intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani to start the 11th and retired Mookie Betts and Will Smith before Freeman delivered with a ball that dropped between three Giants. Teoscar Hernández then beat out an infield single for an insurance run and Andy Pages followed with an RBI single. Ben Casparius (7-3) got Willy Adames to ground out ending the 10th, then pitched a perfect 11th for the win. Pinch-hitter Luis Matos hit a tying two-run homer in the ninth after Matt Chapman's one-out single started the rally against Tanner Scott, who blew his seventh save in 26 opportunities. Miguel Rojas homered and Freeman had an early RBI double that had Los Angeles ahead until the ninth. Dodgers starter and first-time All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out seven over seven innings and allowed three hits. The defending World Series champion Dodgers (58-39) entered the All-Star break atop the NL West after finishing the first half with nine straight games against clubs with winning records. Manager Dave Roberts and his staff head to manage the NL All-Stars in Atlanta, where he said Sunday he plans to pitch left-hander Clayton Kershaw early in what could be his final Midsummer Classic. Los Angeles had done just enough against Giants lefty Robbie Ray in a game featuring just 11 total hits. Key play Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos made a leaping catch on the wall to rob Ohtani of an extra-base hit to start the game. Ohtani walked in the fourth, singled in the fifth and flied out in the eighth. Key stat San Francisco (52-45) reached the break with 52 wins for the fifth time over the last 20 seasons — also doing so when it won the NL West with a franchise-best 107 victories in 2021, 2016, '14 and '11. Up next Neither club had set its rotation for after the All-Star break, when the Dodgers host Milwaukee to begin a six-game homestand on Friday and the Giants visit Toronto. ___ AP MLB:

Gotterup wins Scottish Open for spot at Portrush. Grace Kim takes major Evian Championship
NORTH BERWICK, Scotland (AP) — Chris Gotterup came up with the clutch shots on the biggest stage he has faced Sunday, taking down crowd favorite Rory McIlroy with a 4-under 66 in a two-shot victory in the Scottish Open that gives him another week of links golf. Gotterup got a spot in the British Open at Royal Portrush, with Nicolai Hojgaard and Matti Schmid also taking the final positions through the International Qualifying Series. Gotterup's lead was down to one over McIlroy and England's Marco Penge, but McIlroy missed a 12-foot birdie at the par-5 16th and Gotterup hit a right-to-left putt from 10 feet in the heart of the cup for a two-shot lead with two to play. He didn't blink the rest of the way on the course after his final birdie, winning by two over McIlroy (68) and Penge (66) for his second PGA Tour title. Gotterup finished at 15-under 265 at The Renaissance Club. Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 player coming off a two-week break, had a 67 to tie for eighth. It was his 10th consecutive tournament finishing eighth or better, a streak that began in the Houston Open. LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — Grace Kim delivered one stunning shot after another in the Evian Championship, starting with an eagle to force a playoff and another eagle to beat Jeeno Thitikul on the second extra hole to make her first LPGA Tour win a major title. Kim, whose 2-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th in regulation gave her a 4-under 67, looked to be just as surprised as everyone else when she rolled in a 12-foot eagle putt to win the playoff. The 24-year-old Australian calmly placed her hand over her mouth and stood still before doubling over and breaking into a smile. On 18 in regulation, Kim blasted a fairway metal onto the green. The ball rolled back down the slope to 2 feet for eagle to tie for the lead. Thitikul's birdie putt for the title missed right. She shot 67 and joined Kim at 14-under 270, one ahead of English amateur Lottie Woad (64) and Minjee Lee (68). Thitikul had to make an 8-foot birdie putt to extend the playoff. Playing the 18th for the third time, Kim again delivered another beauty over the pond and onto the green to about 12 feet. LIV Golf League SAN ROQUE, Spain (AP) – American Talor Gooch won LIV Golf Andalucía for his second LIV Golf title in three visits to Valderrama and fourth overall on the Saudi-funded tour. Gooch closed with a 1-under 70 to finish at 8 under, a stroke ahead of Spanish star Jon Rahm (65). Rahm led Legion XIII to its third team title of the season. Gooch has a record 13 trophies – four regular-season individual wins, seven regular-season team wins, one team championship in 2022 with 4Aces and one individual championship in 2023. Abraham Ancer was third at 5 under after a 66. Bryson DeChambeau closed with a 74 to tie for 30th at 3 over. PGA Tour and European Tour LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — William Mouw rallied to win the ISCO Championship for his first PGA Tour title, shooting a 9-under 61 and waiting nearly two hours to see if his 10-under 270 total would hold up. Mouw won when third-round leader Paul Peterson — who was playing the 10th hole at Hurstbourne Country Club when Mouw finished — missed a 55-foot birdie try from the front fringe on the par-4 18th. Mouw won in his 20th start on the PGA Tour. The 24-year-old former Pepperdine player received a two-year exemption and a PGA Championship spot next year, but not a spot in the Masters. Peterson shot a 69 to finish a stroke back in the opposite-field PGA Tour event also sanctioned by the European tour. Mouw birdied the first three holes and added two more on Nos. 7-8 in a front-nine 30. He birdied Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 17 on the back nine in the lowest score in his brief PGA Tour career. PGA Tour Champions ENDICOTT, N.Y. (AP) — Steve Allan became the first wire-to-wire winner in Dick's Sporting Goods Open history, closing with a 6-under 66 for a four-stroke victory.

The 51-year-old Australian opened Friday with a 63 for a two-shot edge and had a 69 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Boo Weekley into the final round. After playing the first seven holes Sunday in 1 under with two birdies and a bogey, Allan birdied five of the next six and parred the last five. He also won The Galleri Classic in late March at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, California. Jason Caron was second after a 68. Weekley (70) and Notah Begay III (67) tied for third at 13 under. Padraig Harrington wasn't back to try to win for a fourth straight time, skipping the event to play in the Scottish Open. Korn Ferry Tour BERTHOUD, Colo. (AP) — Neal Shipley won The Ascendant for his second Korn Ferry Tour victory of the season and his career, shooting an 8-under 64 for a one-stroke margin.
