DeSclafani wins again, Flores HR as Giants top Angels 5-0

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Anthony DeSclafani allowed three hits in seven sharp innings, Wilmer Flores homered during a four-run first and the San Francisco Giants defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5-0 Tuesday night.

DeSclafani (8-2) struck out nine in winning his fourth straight start. The right-hander did not permit a hit after the second inning and retired 18 of the last 19 batters he faced.

Flores, who homered twice in Sunday's win over Philadelphia, extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a two-run shot in the first off Andrew Heaney (4-5) to make it 4-0. Four of Flores' seven home runs have come during his hitting streak.

Mauricio Dubón also went deep and Brandon Crawford had three hits for the NL West leaders, who have won seven of eight.

Since giving up 10 earned runs against the Dodgers on May 23, DeSclafani has allowed only six runs (five earned) in his last five starts for a 1.42 ERA while holding opposing hitters to a .171 batting average (19 for 111).

The Giants struck early, with all their runs coming in the first two innings. After Buster Posey's grounder scored Mike Yastrzemski, Brandon Belt drove in Darin Ruf with a perfect bunt down the third-base line that stayed fair to make it 2-0.

Dubón led off the second with a drive that just cleared the wall in right-center for his fifth homer of the season.

Heaney went six innings and allowed five runs on 10 hits while tying a season high in strikeouts with 10.
