Larry Walker doubled in his season debut after missing the Rockies' first 68 games with a strained left groin.
Keith Ginter added a two-run double in the five-run seventh, giving Doug Davis (7-5) his third straight victory. Davis last won three in a row late in the 2001 season with the Texas Rangers.
Lopez (0-2) did not record an out in the seventh in relief of Jason Jennings. He hit Geoff Jenkins and Lyle Overbay before Clark doubled down the left-field line.
Giants 11, Dodgers 5
In San Francisco, Edgardo Alfonzo drove in a career-high six runs as San Francisco moved a half-game ahead of Los Angeles in the NL West.
Alfonzo hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning and a three-run double in the eighth. Deivi Cruz went 5-for-5 with three doubles and two RBIs for the Giants, who have won 13 of their last 14 home games to take the division lead for the first time since April 13. They trailed by eight games in May.
Milton Bradley tied it at 5-5 with a bunt single off winning pitcher Jim Brower (5-3) in the seventh.
Wilson Alvarez (2-3) allowed two hits in 1 1-3 innings, including a double to Barry Bonds.
The bat Babe Ruth used to hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium more than 80 years ago will be put up for auction in October.
The bat is expected to be sold for a seven-figure sum. The only two other pieces of sports memorabilia to eclipse US$1 million have been the Honus Wagner T-206 card and Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball. The sale possibly could exceed the original cost to build Yankee Stadium -- US$2.5 million.
"It is hard to put a value on an item of such singular importance," auction director Dan Imler said. "Ruth was a man of mythic proportions."
The auction, by SportsCards Plus, will be held on Oct. 4 in Manhattan. The bat made its public debut last August at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemount, Illinois.
The historic homer came in the third inning on April 18, 1923, against the Boston Red Sox before a crowd of 74,000, with nearly 25,000 more fans turned away.
"I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a home run in the first game in this new park," Ruth said before the game.
He lined a shot into the right-field bleachers, a three-run homer that led the Yankees to a 4-1 victory, prompting sports writer Fred Lieb to dub the new park, "The House That Ruth Built."
"Once the Babe homered, the fans cheered forever," said Bob Shawkey, the winning pitcher that afternoon. "Can you imagine anyone paying attention to me that day? Babe owned the day."
