LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harrison Bader and Eric Haase launched back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning to erase a deficit and push the San Francisco Giants past the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Tuesday night.

Haase opened the scoring rally in the third with a solo shot, his first homer since May 7, 2025, to pull the Giants even. In the fifth, Bader connected on a two-strike pitch for his first home run since March 30, tying the game again. One batter later, Haase cleared the fence once more to give San Francisco a 3-2 lead. Haase nearly added a third homer in the seventh, but Andy Pages made a leaping catch at the center-field wall.

Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-3) allowed three home runs for the first time in his career, with all three coming off the Giants’ eighth and ninth hitters with two outs.

Shohei Ohtani homered for the first time since April 26, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the third. He finished 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, and a run scored.

San Francisco has won four of its last five games and earned its first three-game winning streak since April 16-18. Giants starter Adrian Houser (1-4) allowed two runs on three hits over 5⅔ innings, striking out four and walking three to earn his first career victory against the Dodgers. Caleb Kilian picked up his second save with 1⅓ scoreless innings of relief.

The struggling Dodgers have dropped four straight and nine of their last 13, scoring three runs or fewer in 10 of those contests. They loaded the bases in the eighth inning trailing 6-2, but Pages flied out to end the threat.

Yamamoto surrendered five runs on six hits over 6⅓ innings while striking out eight.

Ohtani singled, walked, struck out, and grounded out, also scoring the Dodgers’ first run on a sacrifice fly by Will Smith in the first inning.

The Giants send Robbie Ray (3-4, 2.76 ERA) to the mound Wednesday against the Dodgers.
