LOS ANGELES (AP) Struggles on the mound continued to haunt the San Francisco Giants Wednesday night as they suffered a second straight lopsided loss to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
Chris Taylor homered twice, Cody Bellinger added a solo shot, and the Dodgers' spotty bullpen was solid after starter Rich Hill left with an injury to beat the Giants 9-2 Wednesday night and become the major leagues' first 50-win team.
The NL West leaders improved to a big league-best 30-9 at home. They routed their rivals for the second straight game, following up on a 9-0 win Tuesday.
Hill departed after one inning because of left forearm discomfort. The left-hander retired the side on 15 pitches with two strikeouts.
Dylan Floro (2-1) got the victory with one strikeout in two innings. He was followed by Yimi Garcia, Caleb Ferguson, Pedro Baez and Joe Kelly who combined to limit the Giants to two runs and four hits.
The Dodgers' offense got going early, powering to a 6-0 lead after three innings.
Taylor hit a two-out, three-run homer in the first off Drew Pomeranz (2-7).
