Hot-hitting Mookie Betts will be looking to extend his 11-game hitting streak as the Los Angeles Dodgers (39-32) host the San Francisco Giants (38-32) at Dodger Stadium on Sunday with the visitors looking to sweep the three-game series.
The Giants lead the series 2-0 after winning 15-0 on Saturday, their sixth straight victory overall and third in five games against the Dodgers this season.
Starter Alex Wood threw five scoreless innings for the win, and Tristan Beck pitched four scoreless innings to pick up his second save. LaMonte Wade Jr. was 3 for 5 with a home run, three runs, and five RBIs in the win. Brandon Crawford went 4 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs. Michael Busch went 2 for 3 with a double for the Dodgers.

Logan Webb (5-6, 3.15 ERA) is set for the start for San Francisco. The RHP allowed three runs over seven innings in his last start, a 4-3 home win over the Cardinals on Monday. He got the win, giving up seven hits while striking out six.
Webb has made one previous start against the Dodgers this season, a 9-1 home loss on April 10. He surrendered four runs on five hits over six innings, striking out six and walking one. For Los Angeles, righty Tony Gonsolin (4-1, 1.93 ERA) will toe the rubber.
It’s his first appearance of the season against the Giants. Gonsolin made one start against the Giants in 2022, throwing five innings in a 9-1 home win on May 4. He gave up three hits and walked one while striking out five in the win.
In his last start on Tuesday, Gonsolin got the win at home against the White Sox. He threw six scoreless innings and gave up two hits, striking out six and walking two in the 5-1 victory.
