The Los Angeles Dodgers came in 1.5 games back of the NL West lead as the San Francisco Giants took three of four from the Phightin' Phils earlier in the week. The Dodgers get a Zack Greinke with his good "Stuff" and a Yasiel Puig going to Cooperstown, NY in one night as they cruise past the Giants 8-1.

Puig goes 4 for 5 scoring two runs and knocking in two. Puig scored in the 1st on a A-Gon single to make it 1-0 Dodgers. That score held up until a five-run 5th inning highlighted by Back to Back three-baggers by Puig and Team Chavez Ravine Table Setter Extraordinaire Dee Gordon. A-Gon then singled Puig home again and then Matt Kemp hoes three-bagger and that was three Triples in the 5th and five runs for the "Blue Crew". Puig 66 then triples for the 3rd straight time in the 6th scoring Gordon again.

Giants Starter Tim Lincecum was on the other end of a lot of that misfortune early as he gives up six runs on nine hits through just 4 1/3 innings. Greinke on the other hand went seven shutout innings striking out ten with a free pass.  LAD moves to 57-47 a 1/2 game back of the Giants as they fall to 57-46...
