SAN FRANCISCO - Pedro Feliz and Moises Alou both collected two homers each at SBC Park on Wednesday night as the San Francisco Giants improved against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an 10-2 win in the second game of the three-game series. The Giants fought their way back to go one game above .500 at 23-22 and continue to thrive off their offense and improve defensively. Right-hander Brett Tomko performed solidly with 116 pitches over eight innings, striking out five to improve his record to 4-6. Alou set the tone in the first inning by hitting a two-run home run to left field on a 3-2 pitch, followed by Edgardo Alfonzo's double and Feliz's home run to left. The Giants rocked L.A. in the second inning, scoring two more runs against Dodger starter Wilson Alvarez, who started for the first time this season. Alvarez sat down in the top of the fourth,ddd replaced by reliever Buddy Carlyle as the Giants continued to have answers. Giants fans stuck around for the win, shouting "Pedro Feliz for president" as he hit his second home run on a 3-2 pitch to make it 9-2. Finally in the bottom of the seventh, Alou hit his seventh home run of the season to left field and scored the final run as the Giants won their fourth straight. Los Angeles manager Jim Tracy said afterwards, "It boils down to the home run ball. It's not the first time, but that's what did us in." Stefani's Giants notes: Both clubs went at it again Thursday at SBC Park. With the victory, San Francisco moved into a statistical tie with the Dodgers, who have fallen off the wayside after a brilliant start. The Dodgers have seen their momentum slide since the middle of May. Stefani Rebekah Black covers Giants baseball on Wednesday home and away games.
