SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Dave Roberts' 10th inning single drove in the winning run Friday as the Giants downed the Dodgers 6-5 in a comeback in San Francisco.

Roberts' extra innings heroics came after Steve Holm tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth off Jonathan Broxton. Eugenio Velez reached on a groundout fielder's choice, then took off to steal second and reached third base on a catcher Russell Martin's bad throw which ended up in center field.

Scott McCklain walked, and scored on Holm's sacrifice to tie the game at 5-5 after nine innings.

Ty Walker (5-8) retired the Dodgers in order in the 10th.

Jason Johnson (1-2) was the losing pitcher. He surrendered a two-out double to Omar Vizquel before Roberts smacked a single to right and Vizquel beat the throw to home.

Giants starter Brad Hennessey gave up two runs on six hits in six innings, with two walks and two strikeouts.

Jeff Kent had a two-run home run in the fourth inning and Juan Pierre had two hits for Los Angeles, who had already clinched the NL West title.

San Francisco's Bengie Molina tied the game in the fourth with a two-run homer off a roof wall that was decided by replay.
