No-hit for 6 innings, Giants rally to beat Dodgers in 11
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

Brandon Crawford delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning, Wilmer Flores hit a two-run home run and the visiting San Francisco Giants rallied for a 7-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers despite not collecting a hit through the first six innings.

Austin Slater also drove in a run in the 11th as the Giants extended their winning streak to five games by rallying from a 4-0, seventh-inning deficit.

Left-hander Taylor Rogers (3-2) pitched a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win for the Giants, while right-hander Jakob Junis earned his first career save.

Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan went six hitless innings in his major league debut before the struggling Los Angeles bullpen let another game slip away. Right-hander Brusdar Graterol gave up two runs and left-hander Victor Gonzalez gave up three as San Francisco took a late lead.

James Outman had a two-run single for the Dodgers, who dropped to 4-8 since June 3. Los Angeles left-hander Alex Vesia (0-4) gave up a pair of runs in the 11th.

Sheehan, 23, walked two and had three strikeouts over 89 pitches after he was called up from Double-A Tulsa earlier Friday.

In the fifth inning, the Dodgers' Will Smith blooped an RBI hit to center field for a 1-0 lead before a J.D. Martinez double made it 2-0. Outman, who had replaced an injured David Peralta (hamstring) in the third inning, made it 4-0 with his two-run single.

The Giants came to life against Graterol with Flores' two-run home run in the seventh. Flores then left the game after he had fouled a ball off his leg in the at-bat.

The Giants pulled within a run at 4-3 on an RBI single by former Dodger Joc Pederson, and Thairo Estrada tied it on a sacrifice fly to center field. San Francisco then took a 5-4 lead on Casey Schmitt's RBI single to deep shortstop.

The Dodgers tied the game 5-5 in the ninth on Freddie Freeman's RBI single off Giants closer Camilo Doval. Doval was handed just his second blown save in 20 attempts.

The Dodgers also lost third baseman Chris Taylor (knee) in the fourth inning.
