SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Second baseman Trea Turner threw wildly on Buster Posey’s bases-loaded, two-out grounder in the 11th inning and a video review upheld the safe call as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 to grab first place in the NL West. The rivals began the night tied for the division lead.

Posey hit a grounder to Turner, who zipped a throw that pulled first baseman Will Smith off the bag.
