SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 (UPI) -- Bengie Molina's two-run double capped a four-run seventh-inning rally Saturday and boosted the San Francisco Giants to a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Aaron Rowand had two hits and one RBI. Fred Lewis and Randy Winn each knocked in a run, but no other player had more than one hit for the Giants, who have won five of their last eight games.

In his best outing in a Giants uniform, winner Barry Zito (4-12) yielded two earned runs and six hits in seven innings with a walk and 10 strikeouts.

Brian Wilson recorded his 24th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Andre Ethier and Andruw Jones had one RBI each and Matt Kemp had two of the six hits for the Dodgers, whose four-game win streak ended.

The losing pitcher was reliever Brian Falkenborg (0-1).
