SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Randy Winn and Fred Lewis hit two-out RBI singles during San Francisco's four-run rally in the seventh inning and the Giants kept the Los Angeles Dodgers out of first place in the NL West with a 5-2 comeback victory Saturday night.
Bengie Molina added a two-run double for the Giants, who tagged the Dodgers' bullpen shortly after starter Chan Ho Park was pulled for a pinch-hitter with a 2-1 lead.
Park and Barry Zito staged an unlikely pitchers' duel over the first six innings. Park threw six innings of three-hit ball while Zito (4-12) struck out 10 in perhaps the best start of his woeful season.
Six straight Giants reached base with two outs in the seventh, starting with Lewis' tying single off Brian Falkenborg (0-1). After Ray Durham walked, Winn drove home Lewis with a high-bouncing grounder up the middle that barely eluded second baseman Jeff Kent. Molina then doubled down the left-field line off Cory Wade.
With the Arizona Diamondbacks' loss to San Diego, Los Angeles (42-45) could have moved into first place for the first time since the season's opening week. Instead, the Dodgers' four-game winning streak was snapped as they failed to get within one game of .500 for the first time since June 2.
Brian Wilson got four outs for his 24th save in 26 chances - including 15 in a row - as the Giants improved the majors' worst home record to 17-27 with just their fourth win in 14 games at their waterfront ballpark.
Zito, who already has set the team record for losses before the All-Star break, made up for a bad first inning with six outstanding frames, retiring 13 straight batters at one point and yielding six hits over seven innings.
The woebegone $126 million left-hander has been downright solid in two of his last three starts, even relocating the deceptive curveball and accompanying pitches that entertained fans for years across the bay in Oakland.
Matt Kemp hit Zito's second pitch to deep left-center, but a fan stuck his glove over the fence and caught it on the fly, limiting Kemp to a double. Two pitches later, Andre Ethier hit a double down the right-field line, scoring Kemp anyway. Ethier then scored on Andruw Jones' groundout.
After Kemp was caught stealing to end the second inning, Zito retired every batter he faced until Nomar Garciaparra's one-out bloop single in the seventh. Zito escaped that jam by getting pinch-hitter Andy LaRoche on a harmless grounder, earning a standing ovation from the San Francisco crowd that frequently has booed him this season.
Zito hadn't struck out 10 batters in a game since June 16, 2006 - also against the Dodgers.
Park also was outstanding in just his fourth start of the season after spending most of the first 2 1/2 months in manager Joe Torre's bullpen. The right-hander retired 11 straight in the middle innings and gave up his only run in the sixth on Aaron Rowand's RBI double.
Park, who had seven strikeouts, got back into the rotation when right-hander Brad Penny went on the disabled list in mid-June with soreness in his throwing shoulder. Park lost his first start of June despite allowing just one run, but shut out the Angels for six innings last week.
Notes:@ Penny is expected to be out through the All-Star break after shutting down a simulated game with more pain in his shoulder. Park will keep Penny's place in the rotation, Torre said. ... Jones and Garciaparra both will get the day off in Sunday's series finale after returning from injury absences Friday night. Jones, who went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Friday, went 0-for-4 with an RBI groundout, while Garciaparra was 1-for-3 with a walk.
