Shohei Ohtani hit his NL-leading 53rd home run, Max Muncy, Michael Conforto and Tommy Edman added homers of their own and the Los Angeles Dodgers made it three straight over the visiting San Francisco Giants with a 7-5 triumph Saturday night.

After rallying from a four-run deficit to win for the fourth straight time, the Dodgers (88-67) retained a four-game lead over the San Diego Padres (84-71) atop the National League West with just seven games remaining.

The loss prevented the Giants (76-79) from gaining a game on the New York Mets (80-75), who lost to the Nationals earlier Saturday, in the NL wild-card race. San Francisco stayed four games back with seven to go.

Highlighted by Bryce Eldridge’s first big-league hit, a three-run double, the Giants jumped on Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow (4-3) for four runs in the top of the first inning.

But the Dodgers scored the game’s next seven runs, getting two in the first on Muncy’s 19th homer and two more in the fourth to tie the game on a solo shot by Conforto, his 12th, and an RBI single by Freddie Freeman.

Edman’s 13th homer, a solo shot, gave Los Angeles the lead for good in the fifth inning, before Ohtani launched a bomb into the left-field bleachers with no one aboard as part of a two-run sixth.

An RBI single by Teoscar Hernandez later in the sixth completed the Dodgers’ scoring, giving the hosts a 7-4 lead.

Rafael Devers got the Giants a run closer in the seventh with a leadoff homer, his 32nd, but Dodgers relievers Kirby Yates, Justin Wrobleski, Will Klein and Jack Dreyer slammed the door from there. Dreyer threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his fourth save.

Glasnow didn’t give up another run after the first, pulled after allowing six hits in five innings. He walked four and struck out seven.

Giants starter Kai-Wei Teng served up only one hit in his three innings, but it was Muncy’s homer in the first. He left with a 4-2 lead, having allowed two walks to go with six strikeouts.

Joel Peguero (3-1), who served up the homers to Edman and Ohtani, took the loss.

Eldridge’s hit came after a 0-for-9 start to his major league career. He became the first player in Giants history to have a three-run double as his first hit.

Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee added two hits apiece for the Giants, who have lost seven of their last eight.

Conforto complemented his homer with two singles and Ohtani scored twice for the Dodgers, who out-hit the Giants 9-8.
