OAKLAND, Calif. — The Giants rode back-to-back blasts to a win in the first game of the Bay Bridge series and their first victory in the month of August, six days since the calendar turned.
Apparently, there was no better cure for San Francisco’s woes than a meeting with its cross-bay rivals, as the A’s provided little resistance against a club coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers.
After never leading for more than an inning against the Dodgers, the Giants never trailed in a 7-3 win Saturday in front of the Coliseum’s largest crowd of the season (40,065).
