Dodgers 10, Giants 0: Matt Kemp went 4-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs and Chad Billingsley pitched into the eighth inning as visiting Los Angeles pulled within one game of the National League West-leading Giants.
Billingsley (6-9) allowed four hits with no walks over 7 1/3 innings to earn his first win at AT&T Park since July 2007.
Kemp snapped a 1-for-17 slump with his two-run shot in the first against Barry Zito (8-7), who gave up four runs over 5 1/3 innings. Kemp came within a triple of hitting for the cycle.
The Dodgers led 4-0 before adding three more runs in the seventh, starting with A.J. Ellis’ leadoff homer. With two outs, Andre Ethier reached on an error before Kemp and Hanley Ramirez hit back-to-back RBI doubles.
San Francisco managed two doubles through seven innings before newest Giant Marco Scutaro and Brandon Crawford knocked Billingsley out of the game with back-to-back singles in the eighth.
The Giants were shut out for the fourth time this season and have lost three straight for the second time this month.
