GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Brandon Belt lofted a two-run homer and the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers quit after nine innings tied at 3-3 Saturday night.

A brisk win helped Belt’s homer clear the left-field fence.

Luis Cruz belted a homer to left field that broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth for the Dodgers.

Los Angeles starter Aaron Harang gave up seven hits and two runs, including Belt’s homer, in four innings.

Starter Brian Burres limited the Dodgers to one run and three hits in three innings.

A sellout crowd of 13,655, a Cactus League record, attended in the breezy conditions. A storm approaching from the west threatens Cactus League games on Sunday, including a sellout at Camelback Ranch in which the Dodgers host the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
