LOS ANGELES -- Once they got Matt Cain out of the game, Yasiel Puig and the Los Angeles Dodgers roughed up the San Francisco Giants stellar bullpen. Dee Gordon and Puig broke open a tie game with consecutive RBI doubles in the seventh, Matt Kemp homered in the eighth and the Dodgers beat the NL West-leading Giants 6-2 on Saturday. "Cain pitched a good game and pounded the zone," Kemp said. "He threw strikes, mixed his pitches up well and got them over the plate. We couldnt really get anything off of him. But we waited him out, got him out of there, got to their bullpen and scored some runs at the end for the W." Zack Greinke (6-1) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, striking out eight and walking three. The right-hander extended his streak to 20 consecutive starts in which hes allowed fewer than three runs -- the longest by any pitcher since the "dead ball" era. "Its always a luxury to have two Cy Young winners at the top of your rotation like Zack and Clayton Kershaw. Thats a plus for our team," Kemp said. "Hopefully theyll continue to stay healthy and keep doing what theyre doing. But we have to do our job as hitters and drive in runs for those guys." The Dodgers took the lead in the seventh against reliever Jeremy Affeldt (0-1) when Drew Butera doubled and scored on Gordons hit inside third base with Pablo Sandoval playing in on the grass with the Dodgers speedy leadoff hitter at bat. Puig then greeted Jean Machi with a ground-rule double into the left field corner. "Thats a bad break," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Pablo had to cover the bunt with two outs. Gordon hit it in a good spot, and the ball just bounced by him." The four runs charged to the Giants bullpen was in sharp contracts to the major league-best 1.75 ERA they brought into the game. Affeldt had pitched 10 2-3 scoreless innings in his 10 previous appearances since coming off the DL on April 16. "They got nicked up a little, but they had been so good and really solid all year," Bochy said. "Its going to happen." Former Giants closer Brian Wilson escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, retiring Hunter Pence on a foul pop to Butera behind the plate after a visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. The Dodgers tacked on two more runs in the bottom half on Kemps leadoff homer against Juan Gutierrez and Buteras sacrifice fly. Cain was charged with two runs, three hits and four walks over five-plus innings in his first start off the disabled list. The three-time All-Star hadnt pitched since April 23 and missed two turns in the rotation because of a cut on the tip of his index finger. He was hurt in the clubhouse kitchen at AT&T Park when he tried to catch a knife that fell out of his hand. Affeldt came on in the sixth with the bases loaded and none out after Cain gave up two walks around a towering single by Puig. Gordon scored on a double-play grounder by Adrian Gonzalez and Kemp followed with an RBI single that tied it 2-all. "It kind of got out of hand in the sixth," Cain said. "I let that inning get away from us and that ended up being a turning point." Greinke escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first by fanning Sandoval, who hasnt driven home a run in 20 games and 68 at-bats since his RBI single against the Dodgers on April 16. He has only two hits in his last 26 at-bats with men in scoring position. The Giants loaded the bases again in the second with none out, and managed to scratch out two runs. Hunter Pence drove in Angel Pagan with a sacrifice fly to centre and Brandon Hicks scored on Buster Poseys single. Less than 24 hours after Dodgers left-hander Paul Maholm broke the left thumb of Giants first baseman Brandon Belt with a pitch, Cain plunked Hanley Ramirez above the left elbow on a 1-2 pitch after Gordon led off the first inning with a single and stole two bases. But Cain escaped the jam, striking out Gonzalez and retiring Kemp on a flyball.

Friday it was Justin Turner, and this time it was Chone Figgins. ... Gonzalez is 2 for 31 over his last eight games following a 16-game hitting streak. ... The Dodgers lead the majors with 44 stolen bases, including 24 by Gordon in 27 attempts -- also the most in both leagues. The last time a Dodgers player led the NL in steals was 1976, when current first base coach Davey Lopes won his second straight stolen base crown. Air Max 97 Baratas Rebajas .

Bobby Ryan scored twice to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in pre-season action Wednesday night. It was a split squad game as the two teams were also playing in Toronto. Matt Puempel scored a power-play goal and Craig Anderson stopped 20 shots for the Senators. Sam Carrick and Morgan Rielly scored for the Leafs. Antoine Bibeau allowed two goals on 18 shots while Cal Heeter, who came in midway through the second, allowed one goal on 17 shots. Ottawa made it 3-1 on Ryans second goal of the game early in the third. Ryan tipped a Patrick Mullen point shot that Heeter couldnt handle. With 26 seconds remaining Rielly made it 3-2 as he beat Anderson high stick side. The Leafs nearly tied the game in the dying seconds when Daniel Winnick hit the post. After a scoreless first the Senators jumped out to a 2-0 lead before the Leafs made it 2-1 on Carricks goal midway through the period. Ryan opened the scoring at the six-minute mark, beating Bibeau shortside. Then Puempel, who continues to make a good impression, tipped an Erik Karlsson point shot and then grabbed his own rebound to make it 2-0 to the delight of the 15,865 on hand. Carrick cut the lead in half as he was able to beat Anderson from in close. Shots were 11-11 after the first period, but Ottawa had the better chances -- specifically Ryan. Ryan had two solid chances, but it was the second of the two that was most frustrating for Ryan as he took a great pass from Clarke MacArthur and then put the shot right in Bibeaus chest. Meanwhile in Toronto, James Reimers 2014 pre-season debut went like many of his previous starts with the Leafs during happier times. The Leafs were out-shot and forced Reimer to keep them in it, and the goaltendeer was up the task in his half of Wednesday nights split-squad game against the Senators at Air Canada Centre.dddddddddddd Reimer had a perfect showing with 18 saves, though the Leafs coughed up the lead before losing 4-3 in a shootout. Reimer played the games first 30 minutes 14 seconds and withstood a shot disadvantage of 18-9 before giving way to Christopher Gibson. When shown on video screens with his stats from the night, Reimer received some nice applause from the tepid exhibition crowd. Nazem Kadri, Jake Gardiner (power play) and James van Riemsdyk scored for the Leafs, who iced one team in Toronto and another against the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. The Senators won that game 3-2 as Bobby Ryan scored twice. Shane Prince, Alex Chiasson (short-handed) and Ryan Dzingel had the Senators goals in Toronto. Robin Lehner played the entire game for Ottawa and stopped 24 of the 27 shots he faced in regulation and overtime. Milan Michalek had the shootout winner. Lehner is expected to be Craig Andersons backup with the Senators again this season, and a similar thing could be said of Reimer. Jonathan Bernier emerged as the No. 1 goaltender last year, and though coach Randy Carlyle continued to call them 1A and 1B in training camp, few believe its actually that close. But Reimer is determined to compete with Bernier, whos coming off sports hernia surgery and a couple of injuries that ended his 2013-14 season. Reimer, 26, signed a two-year deal as a restricted free agent over the summer. Notes -- Bobby Ryan, Chris Neil and Erik Karlsson all wore an A for the Senators. Daniel Winnik, Colton Orr and Morgan Rielly wore the A for the Leafs. Injured Leafs forwards Tyler Bozak and David Clarkson practised Wednesday and could play Friday at the Buffalo Sabres. ... First-round pick William Nylander, who scored Tuesday night, was held off the score sheet in his second career pre-season game and hit the post in the shootout. ' ' '
