Giants starter Jonathan Sanchez (1-1) picked up his first win of the season while closer Brian Wilson registered his second save.
Antioch-native and Dodgers second baseman Aaron Miles doubled in Marcus Thames to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth.

The Giants scored the first two runs of the game in the first two innings of the contest. Aubrey Huff had a first inning sac-fly that scored Aaron Rowand, while Fontenot contributed a RBI double in the second that gave the Giants an early 2-0 lead.
