Adrian Gonzalez sparks Dodgers' victories over Giants

On Monday night he slammed a tying home run to douse the embers in the Giants’ hearts. On Tuesday morning he had a bases-loaded, no-out, game-winning situation in the 14th and hit the fly ball he needed to hit.

On Tuesday night he served Madison Bumgarner’s high fastball into left field and let rookie teammate Jose Peraza run until the Dodgers led 1-0. Then he stretched himself into the hamstring-endangerment zone to take Justin Turner’s throw that nipped Marlon Byrd by a gnat’s heartbeat, with two on and none out in the seventh.

In the eighth he rammed a double off Tim Hudson.
