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. NOTES: Dodgers 3B Juan Uribe missed his second straight game with a sore right hamstring -- and for the second straight game his replacement committed a throwing error. 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. Nick Chubb Jersey .

Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. England, Northern Ireland and Scotland are all odds-on favourites against Malta, San Marino and Lithuania respectively - and Charlie can see interim boss Southgate getting off to a flyer. Check out his full Sky Bet tips for the five clashes... England v MaltaWell this is a nice game for Gareth Southgate to start with, especially after my team softened [Malta] up!The big question is what he does and how many changes he makes. Will he play Wayne Rooney? Or will he want to play Dele Alli behind Daniel Sturridge or Jamie Vardy? Wayne Rooney has retained his England captaincy Ive got a feeling Southgate isnt the type to take a risk and will make changes once the side are a couple of goals up.I would like to see him try playing Alli close to Vardy instead of Rooney, and then Theo Walcott up next to the striker on the right-hand side, where hes been really successful for Arsenal this season. Watch England and Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli secretly nutmeg team-mate Eric Dier. Pictures courtesy of FATV If Im having a bet on this game Id be looking at England to score at least five goals and Walcott definitely to get in on the act.Charlie predicts: 6-0 and Walcott to score first (28/1 with Sky Bet)Northern Ireland v San MarinoThis looks like a good little opportunity for Northern Ireland to get a few goals in the bag for once, but these teams can be frustrating initially. Northern Ireland are expected to record a comfortable victory Kyle Lafferty had a pretty miserable Euros after being talked up and I think it could take a while for them to break San Marino down.ddddddddddddId be expecting late goals from Northern Ireland as theyre not used to going straight out and attacking but these sort of teams get tired late on, so it might take something from a set-piece to get them going, with Gareth McAuley their main threat.Charlie predicts: 3-0 and McAuley to score first (35/1 with Sky Bet)Scotland v LithuaniaThis for me is a must-win. A few of my colleagues arent so sure but you must win your home games to gather momentum, especially ahead of Tuesdays trip to Slovakia. Scotland started the campaign with a 5-1 win over Malta I covered this game a few years ago and we really struggled. Scotland are vulnerable defensively when they have to come out and attack as theyre used to playing on the counter. Former Scotland captain Gary McAllister says team spirit is very good as qualifying action resumes Leigh Grffiths isnt match-fit so Id probably start with Oliver Burke, who is attracting a lot of interest up here, supporting Chris Martin, then I can see Griffiths coming off the bench and bagging the winner. Charlie predicts: 2-1 to Griffiths score last (22/1 with Sky Bet)Follow all the World Cup Qualifier action with our live blogs on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.Watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
