Dodgers kept waiting after Giants blow

Seager drove in the run with a two-out single after left fielder Carl Crawford had singled and stolen second base.

It stayed tied until Marlon Byrd and Tomlinson led off the 12th inning with back-to-back singles. He stole second anyway; it was his and he wanted it.

Andre Ethier followed with a ground out to second base to bring home the tying run, extending the Dodgers’ life. Zack Greinke had never lost in nine previous starts against the Giants, but he fell behind early.

The Dodgers got back within 2-1 in the third against Peavy, their first run against Giants pitching after a 36-inning drought. It all started with a Brandon Crawford one-out, first-pitch opposite field single and Marlon Byrd reached on a fielder’s choice.

The Giants almost won in the bottom of the ninth after Buster Posey hit a one-out double and Crawford drew an intentional walk.

The Dodgers managed to give up four walks in their last game.

But Josh Osich, after finishing off three righties to seal the eighth, allowed base hits to lefties Seager and Adrian Gonzalez, who moved to scoring position on a sac bunt and tied the game 2-2 on a sacrifice ground ball from Andre Ethier.
