LOS ANGELES -- Gorkys Hernandez drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the 11th inning, and the San Francisco Giants earned a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.

Hunter Pence and Buster Posey both went 2-for-5 with an RBI as the Giants (11-18) took two of three from the Dodgers (15-14).

Joe Panik singled to start the 11th off Dodgers reliever Grant Dayton (1-1) and advanced to second when pinch-hitter Nick Hundley drew a one-out walk. Hernandez laced a double to left to score Panik for the lead and Brandon Belt, who went 1-for-2 with four walks, followed with a run-scoring single to plate Hundley for a 3-1 advantage.

A sacrifice fly by Pence provided the final run.

Steven Okert (1-0) didn't allow a hit in 1 2/3 innings to earn his first major league victory. Mark Melancon worked a scoreless ninth for his sixth save.

Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias threw five shutout innings in his second start this season. Urias allowed four hits and four walks on 88 pitches (53 strikes).

Giants starter Jeff Samardzija struck out 11 and held the Dodgers to a run (unearned) on three hits in eight innings. He threw 101 pitches (70 strikes).

Samardzija retired 14 batters in a row before the sixth. Yasiel Puig opened the inning by launching a pop-up behind first base, but Giants second baseman Panik dropped the ball, and Puig raced to third.

Pinch-hitter Chris Taylor lined a Samardzija pitch down the right-field line to score Puig for a 1-0 Dodgers lead.

In the eighth, reliever Ross Stripling threw a wild pitch that allowed Pence, who led off with a single, to go all the way to third.

Posey drove in Pence with a groundout to second to tie the score at 1.
