Evan Longoria Home Run Gives Giants Game 3 Win over Max Scherzer, Dodgers

The San Francisco Giants are one win away from eliminating their archrivals from the playoffs.

San Francisco defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 in Monday's Game 3 of their National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium. Evan Longoria provided the only offense with a solo home run, and the pitching and defense did the rest as the victors bounced back from their Game 2 loss and regained home-field advantage with a 2-1 series lead.

An impressive showing from Max Scherzer wasn't enough for the Dodgers, who now have to win two in a row to keep their championship defense alive.
