The three-time MVP recorded one hit in two at-bats — a two-run home run during a five-run Dodgers third inning off Giants pitcher Shosei Togo. The 391-foot blast came after Michael Conforto led off the inning with a solo blast and before Teoscar Hernández capped the scoring with a two-run shot of his own.
