Crawford ended Frias’ night of shutout relief came in the fifth inning that extended the Giants’ lead to 6-0. Kevin Correia was on the mound in the seventh for his second inning of work on the night when he was hurt by the long ball.

Travis Ishikawa hit a pinch-hit, three-run home run that gave the Giants a 9-0 lead and put the game well beyond reach. The Dodgers’ offense didn’t make much noise the rest of the way as they dropped the series opener.

The win was the Giants’ 10th straight at home and pulled them within one game of the Dodgers for first place in the NL West.
