Los Angeles Dodgers (42-45) At San Francisco Giants (39-49), 4:05 P.m.

(Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Dodgers will try to stay within striking distance of the top spot in the NL West division today, when they conclude a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.

Los Angeles had its four-game winning streak halted in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants in the second test of this series. Andre Ethier and Andruw Jones each drove in a run for the Dodgers, who are just a half game behind the slumping Arizona Diamondbacks in the division standings.

Chan Ho Park started on the mound and was charged with just one run on four hits with three walks and seven strikeouts over six innings. Brian Falkenborg was saddled with the loss after he yielded three runs.

Eric Stults will take the ball for LA on Sunday, and is 2-1 with a 2.21 ERA in three trips to the mound this season. Stults lost his last start on June 30 at Houston, allowing four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 4-1 loss.

The lefty is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in three career games (two starts) against the division-rival Giants.

San Francisco has alternated wins and losses over its last seven games. In Saturday's win over the Dodgers, starter Barry Zito worked seven strong innings and posted the win after giving up two runs on six hits with a walk and a season-high 10 strikeouts.

Bengie Molina drove in a pair of runs, while Ray Durham scored twice in the win for the Giants. San Francisco is four games behind the D'Backs in the weak NL West division.

Giants starter Matt Cain will try to build off his last performance when he takes the ball on Sunday. Cain, who has alternated wins and loss over his last 12 decisions, hurled eight shutout innings of two-hit ball on Tuesday in a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Cain also fanned 10 batters.

In six career starts against the Dodgers, the right-handed Cain is 0-3 with a 4.88 earned run average.

The Dodgers took two of three from the Giants in LA from March 31 - April 2 this season, and have won 15 of their last 20 at San Francisco.
