Casey Schmitt’s grand slam in the third inning propelled the San Francisco Giants to a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, tying both teams for first place in the National League West at 41-29. The Giants initially led with a solo home run from Willy Adames, while the Dodgers equalized in the second, but Schmitt’s homer off Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto secured the win despite a later run from Los Angeles. Clayton Kershaw is set to start for the Dodgers on Saturday, while the Giants will have Landen Roupp on the mound.
