A team that finished Mother’s Day with a 17-23 record improved to 39-32 on Father’s Day the Giants’ 22-9 record in that span is the best in the majors, enough to climb a season-high seven games over. They have won seven in a row overall, nine straight away from Oracle Park and 11 of their 15 games since the calendar turned to June. The long-due sweep of their bitter rivals made for a sweet ending to one of the best road trips in franchise history. A rookie Brandon Crawford started only one of the games, entering as a defensive replacement in the other two. 20-22, 2012, were Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. It had been more than a decade since the Giants’ last swept a series of at least three games at Dodger Stadium. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 18: Camilo Doval #75 of the San Francisco Giants throws a pitch against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium on Jin Los Angeles, California. Doval hit Will Smith with the first pitch he threw, forcing in one run and bringing the tying run to the plate, but made quick work of the next two batters, striking out David Peralta and J.D. It took the work of Camilo Doval in the ninth inning to secure the win after Alexander loaded the bases. (That did not buy him any goodwill with the fans, who began booing during his injury delay, as well as Casey Schmitt’s, after he was hit by a pitch in the right elbow.)

Louis, something the Giants accomplished for only the fifth time in franchise history. The win was their seventh in a row and clinched a perfect 6-0 record on the road trip, which started with another three-game sweep in St. Logan Webb, who earned the win Sunday with seven innings of two-run ball, took a wider-angle view. In three games, the Giants seemed to vanquish any leftover demons from a season ago, when they went 1-8 here and lost 15 times to the Dodgers. Outscoring their archrivals 29-8 over the course of the weekend, their most runs ever in a three-game series here, it couldn’t have come in much more convincing fashion. With a 7-3 win Sunday afternoon, the Giants completed a three-game sweep here at Dodger Stadium for the first time in more than a decade and only the sixth time since the teams moved west in 1958.
