Eric Haase hit two home runs, Harrison Bader added another and the San Francisco Giants continued their success against the Los Angeles Dodgers this season with a 6-2 road victory on Tuesday.

Adrian Houser (1-4) gave up two runs on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings to pick up his first win as a member of the Giants, who improved to 4-1 against Los Angeles this season. Jung Hoo Lee added a two-run double in a three-run seventh inning.

Haase is the fourth Giants catcher to hit multiple home runs in a game against the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani hit a home run and had two hits for the Dodgers, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-3) gave up a season-high five runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings. Los Angeles saw its losing streak extend to four games to match a season high.

The Dodgers fell to 4-9 since April 28 in a stretch that includes both of their four-game losing streaks.

The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when they loaded the bases with one out and scored on a Will Smith sacrifice fly to right field after a running catch from Lee. Houser escaped further damage when he retired Max Muncy on a popup.

The Giants tied it 1-1 in the third when Haase hit a home run to left-center, his first in six games this season.

Ohtani rediscovered his power swing in the third inning to give Los Angeles a 2-1 lead with a solo shot to left field. It was Ohtani’s first home run in his last 12 games as a hitter and his second in 23 games with a trip to the plate.

San Francisco took the lead for the first time in the fifth inning when Bader hit a two-out home run to left and Haase followed with his second of the night to left-center.

The Giants put the game away in the seventh inning when Drew Gilbert laid down an RBI bunt single for a 4-2 lead and Lee delivered his two-run double two batters later.

The Dodgers loaded the bases with one out in the eighth before Muncy struck out and Andy Pages flew out.
