<p>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Willy Adames homered in the second inning and hit a two-run triple in San Francisco's five-run fifth and the Giants sent the rival Los Angeles Dodgers to their seventh straight loss with an 8-7 victory Friday night.</p>
<p>San Francisco pulled within four games of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West.</p>
<p>Dominic Smith homered leading off the fifth after Jung Hoo Lee's two-run triple in the fourth put San Francisco ahead against Dustin May (5-6). Lee beat out an infield single in the fifth to drive in another run.</p>
<p>Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd home run of the season into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall for a go-ahead two-run shot in the third inning.</p>
<p>Ohtani connected after Hyeseong Kim's leadoff single marked the first hit of the night against Logan Webb (9-6), who walked Ohtani in a nine-pitch battle to begin the game and finished with six runs, six hits and six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>Camilo Doval allowed Mookie Betts' single then walked Freddie Freeman before getting Will Smith to ground into a game-ending double play for his 15th save.</p>
<p>Ohtani crushed a 91.1 mph cutter on Webb's first offering of the at-bat and the ball traveled 410 feet.</p>
<p>Michael Conforto's two-run homer in the sixth chased Webb after he hit Betts with a pitch.</p>
<p>The Dodgers have their worst losing streak since Sept. 2-11 2017, when they dropped 11 in a row.</p>
<p>May, who beat the Giants on June 15, was tagged for seven earned runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings.</p>
<p>Key play</p>
<p>Following his triple, Lee was called out at home on a fly by Casey Schmitt and a sensational throw by left fielder Conforto. The Giants challenged the call and it was upheld on review.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Ohtani's blast marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park's 25-year history and 171st in all — 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>Ohtani (0-1, 1.50 ERA) pitches Saturday opposite Giants RHP Landen Roupp (6-5, 3.39).</p>
