Donovan Solano slugs Giants past Dodgers in 11th inning 10-8

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The typically reliable Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen didn't have its shut-down stuff this time.

Donovan Solano hit a walkoff two-run homer with two outs in the 11th after Evan Longoria’s tying single, and the San Francisco Giants held off the first-place Dodgers 10-8 on Tuesday night for their seventh straight win.
