SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Logan Webb pitched six scoreless innings and Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-run homer as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Webb (4-4) limited Los Angeles to three hits, striking out five and walking three to help the Giants snap a six-game losing streak against their longtime rivals.
The right-hander got some help from his defense in the fourth when center fielder Luis Matos leaped and reached over the wall to rob Teoscar Hernandez of a home run.
Yastrzemski took Los Angeles starter Elieser Hernandez deep to right in the third for his fourth home run of the season.
Heliot Ramos added an RBI double in the sixth to make it 3-0.
Hernandez (0-1) permitted three runs and four hits in six innings, striking out three and walking one in his Dodgers debut. The right-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier Wednesday.
Max Muncy drove in the Dodgers' run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Matos responded with an RBI single in the bottom half.
Camilo Doval allowed two runners to reach in the ninth but retired Freddie Freeman on a groundball to second for his seventh save.
