Through games of June 26, the Giants led the Dodgers in the NL West by 8.0 games. June 26 was also the last game Clayton Kershaw pitched for the Dodgers. From June 27 to the present, the Giants have gone 19-28 (.404), the third-worst record in baseball and the Dodgers have gone 28-19 (.596), the fifth-best record in baseball to turn the eight-game deficit into a 1.0 game Dodger lead over the Giants in the NL West heading into this three-game series. The Giants have lost six of their last eight games, including each of the last two games to the Mets, and the Dodgers have won two straight at Cincinnati after dropping three straight games to sub-.500 teams (one at Philadelphia, two at Cincinnati).

The Giants have won six of the first 10 games against the Dodgers this season, and the teams will meet nine more times this season, including a season-finishing three-game set in San Francisco from September 30 through October 2. The currently-injured Clayton Kershaw pitched in all three series against the Giants earlier this season, and the Dodgers won all three games. The Dodgers are 1-6 this season against the Giants in games started by anyone besides Kershaw.

Joe Panik has scored a run in seven straight games against the Dodgers. The last Giants player to do this prior to Panik was Marvin Benard in 1999. Since the Giants and Dodgers moved west in 1958, no Giant has ever scored a run in eight consecutive games, within a single season, against the Dodgers. Two Giants, since 1958, have scored a run in 8+ consecutive games against the Dodgers spanning seasons (Barry Bonds -- 8 straight in 1997-98 and Willie Mays -- 8 straight in 1958-59).

Adrian Gonzalez had three home runs and a career-high eight RBI yesterday in Cincinnati. Gonzalez is riding a 15-game hitting streak. During the streak Gonzalez is hitting .410 (25-for-61) with 16 runs scored, six home runs and 19 RBI. The three longest active hit streaks in baseball are in this game tonight with San Francisco's Angel Pagan (18 games), Gonzalez and the Dodgers'' Corey Seager (13 games).

Kenta Maeda has won a career-high three consecutive starts, and the Dodgers have won five consecutive Maeda starts. Maeda is 6-2 with a 2.47 ERA against the NL West, and he won his only start against San Francisco on April 17 in Los Angeles (7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 7 K).

The Giants have won two consecutive Madison Bumgarner starts after dropping five in a row. San Francisco has lost four consecutive Bumgarner starts against the Dodgers dating back to September 1, 2015. Prior to this stretch, the Giants were 14-5 in Bumgarner's 19 starts against the Dodgers. Bumgarner's last eight starts against the Dodgers have come against either Clayton Kershaw (6 times) or Zack Greinke (2 times). The last time he faced a Dodger pitcher other than Kershaw or Greinke was September 12, 2014 when he beat Hyun-jin Ryu in San Francisco.

HP - Torres, 1B - Holbrook, 2B - Davis, 3B - Drake

LOS ANGELES -- The San Francisco Giants hope Matt Moore can expose weaknesses in the Los Angeles Dodgers' offense.
Moore (7-10, 4.18 ERA overall) will face Dodgers starter Ross Stripling (3-4, 4.04 ERA) in the finale of the three-game series Thursday. A win by the first-place Dodgers would allow them to sweep their archrival and increase their margin in the National League West to four games.

Giants-Dodgers preview

LOS ANGELES (AP)  Justin Turner and the Dodgers aren't thinking cruise control just yet.
Rich Hill pitched six dominant innings in his first start with Los Angeles and Turner hit his 24th homer, lifting the Dodgers over the San Francisco Giants 1-0 on Wednesday night.
