Comeback kids do it again

The Dodgers stormed back from a 4-2 deficit with four runs in the seventh inning last night to post a 6-4 win over the beleaguered Giants, who are 32.5 games behind the first-place Dodgers.

It's not really important to mention how far back the Giants are, but it is fun to write that the Giants are 32.5 games behind the Dodgers.

The comeback was L.A.'s 30th of the season, which means you can never really count this team out.

The inning started quietly, as Austin Barnes worked a base on balls from San Francisco's Matt Moore. Kike Hernandez then went down looking for the first out of the inning.

Joc Pederson then stroked a line drive double to right field, moving Barnes to third.

The Giants then brought in George Kontos to face pinch-hitter Yasiel Puig, batting for Alex Wood. Puig hit an 0-1 grounder to shortstop Brandon Crawford, who had to go to first for the out because Pederson was moving on the pitch and second baseman Joe Panik was not at the bag due to an infield shift. Barnes scored on the play, making it a 4-3 game with two outs.

Chris Taylor then worked a full count on Kontos before hitting a weak fly to left field that dropped in for a double, scoring Pederson to knot the game at 4-4. Taylor, who has been on fire since the All-Star break, was jammed on the pitch but found room in left field with the Giants shifted to the right.

Corey Seager, who homered in the first inning, then crushed his second dinger of the game to give the Dodgers the 6-4 win.

With the comeback, the Dodgers moved to 13 games ahead of Arizona and 14 games in front of Colorado in the NL West.

Speculation is strong that the Dodgers will add a pitcher before Monday's trade deadline.
