LOS ANGELES(AP) -- Jon Garland was worried about being accepted by
his new teammates after a late-season trade to the Dodgers.
They're more than happy to have him now.

Ronnie Belliard hit a grand slam, Matt Kemp and James Loney
added back-to-back drives off former teammate Brad Penny and Los
Angeles routed the San Francisco Giants 12-1 on Saturday.

Garland (11-11) gave up an unearned run and seven hits in eight
innings, tying his longest outing of the season. The
right-hander is unbeaten in his last six starts, four of those
with the Dodgers after he was acquired from Arizona on Aug. 31.

"It's nice to pitch a game and not have to worry," he said. "I'm
starting to be part of this team a little more each day. They
put in so much work since the beginning of spring training. Then
to get new players in September, I've been on the other side of
that and it's weird."

Garland is 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in his four starts with the
Dodgers.

"He had command of all his pitches and was working off the
edges," catcher Russell Martin said. "He really didn't make any
mistakes."

The Dodgers, who lost the series opener 8-4 on Friday night,
remained five games ahead of Colorado in the NL West. The Giants
fell 3 1/2 behind the wild card-leading Rockies, who beat
Arizona.

The Dodgers' victory reduced their magic number to six for
clinching their third postseason berth in four years.

"We got Jon a lead and he knew what to do with it. That was
vintage stuff when you see a veteran pitcher with a lead and
making them hit the ball," manager Joe Torre said. "It was nice
to bounce back."

Loney went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs as the Dodgers improved
to 10-7 against their rivals, with their largest margin of
victory this season against them.

Belliard has hit four homers since joining the Dodgers on Aug.
30 from Washington.

"I was just looking for a pitch to hit. He gave me a fastball
inside and I reacted to it," he said. "Garland was throwing
strikes all day long."

Penny (10-9) defeated the Dodgers 7-2 last Sunday in his first
start against them since being signed by the Giants on Aug. 31.
The right-hander had been particularly tough on hitters with
runners in scoring position and two outs this season, holding
them to a .176 average.

But Los Angeles pummeled him with two outs in the first. Loney's
RBI single tied it at 1 before Belliard sent a 1-2 pitch into
the Dodgers' bullpen for his fourth career grand slam, giving
them a 5-1 lead and triggering taunts of Penny. He spent five
years in Los Angeles before being traded to Boston last year.

"It was pretty obvious he was off today with his command and his
secondary pitches," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's been
as good as you can be the first three starts and he had an off
day. He was a pitch away from getting out of the first, but he
made a mistake. It's going to happen."

Pitching in 87-degree heat, Penny gave up seven runs and five
hits in 2 2-3 innings - equaling his shortest outing of the
season. He lost for the first time in four outings with the
Giants.

"Today was on me. You just can't get down seven runs in a
situation like this in September," he said. "I just wasn't
making pitches. My focus wasn't there. The off-speed pitch I
tried to locate on the grand slam was horrible. It was a
changeup that went way up and in. If it's down and away, there's
no way he hits it. With two strikes, you've got to bear down and
make better pitches, and I didn't do that."

Randy Johnson made his first relief appearance since pitching
for the Yankees in the 2005 American League division series. He
faced three batters in the sixth, giving up consecutive doubles
to Rafael Furcal and Andre Ethier before retiring pinch-hitter
Juan Pierre.

Johnson was activated from the 60-day DL on Wednesday. He didn't
stick around to speak afterward.

"It probably had to be strange for him," Giants pitching coach
Dave Righetti said. "Once you go to the pen, the toughest thing
is knowing when you're going to pitch in a race like this. To
get him out there was important. Obviously, he's down,
stuff-wise, but he's reporting no pain. But his arm strength is
not there. So we have to make a decision on when and how to
pitch him, in terms of rest."

Bochy said three batters was Johnson's limit going in.

"I knew he'd be rusty. It's been a while for him," he said. "The
problem was just location more than anything and that's going to
happen when you haven't been out on the mound in a long time.
I'm sure he was a little hyped up. But it's good to see him out
there."

The Dodgers extended their lead to 7-1 in the third. Kemp and
Loney homered on consecutive pitches from Penny, with Loney
clearing the right-field wall for his first at home after 12 on
the road. Kemp connected on a 2-1 pitch for his 25th homer and
95th RBI - both career highs.

Pinch-hitter Blake DeWitt also homered leading off the seventh
for the Dodgers.

NOTES: Johnson's last regular-season relief outing came on July
18, 2001, at San Diego, when he struck out 16 in completion of a
suspended game. ... Belliard's last grand slam was on Aug. 22
against Milwaukee.
