LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Rafael Furcal singled in the go-ahead run to highlight a three-run sixth inning and lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.

The defending World Series champions remained winless after losing 2-1 in the teams' season opener a night earlier.

New manager Don Mattingly matched the 2-0 start of mentor and retired Dodgers skipper Joe Torre in 2008.

Chad Billingsley (1-0) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings, struck out four and walked one.

The right-hander, who signed a three-year contract Wednesday, improved to 5-1 with a 1.37
ERA against the Giants at home since 2008.

Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth to earn his second save.
