Brett Wisely hits 2-run homer in 9th to send Giants past Dodgers, 5-3

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Brett Wisely hit a two-run homer with none out in the ninth inning after Jason Heyward tied it in the top half on a sacrifice fly, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 on Friday night.

Camilo Doval (3-1) wound up with the victory after blowing just his third save opportunity all season.

Wisely delivered against the mighty Dodgers in front of a sellout crowd for fireworks night.

“He’s been playing short great, he’s been getting big hits for us,” manager Bob Melvin said. “He’s led off, hitting down in the lineup. That's one in his career that he’s never going to forget, that big a homer against these guys.”

Blake Treinen (2-2) entered for the ninth and immediately walked Luis Matos, who was replaced by pinch-runner Tyler Fitzgerald.

Matt Chapman had put the Giants ahead with a two-run homer in the sixth inning shortly after the Giants announced the death of Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda and paused for a moment of silence.

Logan Webb struck out six over seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits. Tyler Rogers pitched the eighth before Doval entered and gave up a leadoff triple to Andy Pages ahead of Heyward's sacrifice fly.

Gavin Lux broke up a scoreless tie with an RBI double in the fifth off Webb and Will Smith singled in a run later that inning, but the Dodgers had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Matos homered in the bottom half of the fifth for the Giants, who just took three of four from the Cubs.

Michael Conforto hit a two-out triple in the second for San Francisco but Miguel Rojas then stopped a hard line drive by Matos to save a run.

The Dodgers have won 11 of 14 against the Giants dating to September and five of seven this season.

Los Angeles hasn't dropped a road series in San Francisco since going 2-8 in 2016 and is 36-24 since then at Oracle Park.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Dodgers: 3B Max Muncy, nursing an oblique strain, is with the team and took swings off a tee and fielded groundballs. The next step will be taking live batting practice, then a simulated game before Muncy begins a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Roberts. ... LHP Clayton Kershaw will resume playing catch again next week after the club announced Monday he had been shut down because of lingering soreness as he recovers from surgery in his pitching shoulder.

Giants: LHP Blake Snell struck out six and allowed three runs on four hits over three innings for Triple-A Sacramento at Las Vegas as the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner works back from a strained left groin. ... RHP Alex Cobb (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday and is set to pitch in a rehab outing at Class-A San Jose on Sunday. ... LHP Kyle Harrison tested his sprained right ankle with a bullpen session as well.

ROSTER MOVES

INF/OF LaMonte Wade Jr. returned from the injured list and started at first base, going 1 for 4 with two strikeouts, and INF/OF Tyler Fitzgerald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento as INFs Thairo Estrada (sprained left wrist) and Wilmer Flores (tendonitis in his right knee) were placed on the 10-day IL.

UP NEXT

RHP Tyler Glasnow (8-5, 2.88 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Dodgers on Saturday, while the Giants hadn't named a starter.

NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) — Mauritania’s President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani has been reelected for a second term, the country's electoral commission said on Monday, after positioning the country as a strategic ally of the West in a region swept by coups and violence.

Ghazouani, who campaigned on a pledge of providing security and economic growth, obtained 56.1% of votes, the country’s independent electoral commission said Monday. His main rival Biram Dah Abeid, an anti-slavery activist, received 22.1% of the votes. He rejected the partial results announced Sunday and called them a fraud.

The turnout was 55% of the two million eligible voters, the commission said.

The country's constitutional court will now review the vote numbers and announce the final results, though it remains unclear when that will happen.

Saturday’s vote unfolded peacefully, according to observers.

“Nothing has been detected so far and the CENI has not received any complaints,” said Taghioullah Ledhem, the spokesman for CENI, the country’s independent electoral commission.

But some opposition candidates held a different view. The commission is made up of representatives of political parties and its president is appointed by the government, and some accused it of colliding with Ghazouani’s regime.

Abeid claimed that he was the real winner. The provisional results were an “electoral coup d’état" to help Ghazouani, he told a news conference Sunday. He accused the electoral commission of fraudulently giving Ghazouni thousands of votes “out of nowhere.”

Speaking hours later from his home in Riadh — a poor suburb of the Mauritanian capital — he called for civil disobedience against the government and appealed to the military and security forces not to “accept being used by the government against the people.”

“The battle is not over, we are not defeated,” he said. “The people are not defeated and will not be defeated, we are there to defend the people until the last drop of blood.”

Although his opponents accused him of corruption and mismanagement, Ghazouani, a former army chief, remains popular among Mauritanians who see him as a beacon of stability. The vote took place in a tense regional climate, with Mauritania’s neighbors shaken by military coups and jihadi violence.

Mauritania is rich in natural resources including iron ore, copper, zinc, phosphate, gold, oil and natural gas. It is poised to become a gas producer by the end of the year, with the planned launch of the BP-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyin offshore gas project on the border with Senegal.

Yet almost 60% of the population lives in poverty, according to the United Nations, working as farmers or employed informally. With few economic opportunities for young people at home, many are attempting to reach Europe, and some are even trying to get to the United States through Mexico.

The African Union sent an observation mission to Saturday’s vote but have yet to release their statement.
