It was the first time the Giants overcame their West rival with that big of a margin since the 19-3 rout on September 14 2013. It was also Dodgers’ tied-worst home shutout defeat in their history.

LaMonte Jade Jr. had a three-run homer, while J.D. Davis had a pinch-hit grand slam. Brandon Crawford achieved 4 of the Giants’ 17 hits.

Luis Matos drew a leadoff walk in the fifth, stole second and took third on Bobby Miller’s indecisive pickoff throw. Matos scored on Crawford’s RBI single, snapping Miller’s streak of scoreless innings at 20 1/3, as the San Francisco team did most of it work in the 5th, 6th and 7th inning.

Crawford extended the lead to 5-0 with an RBI single in the sixth, while Davis blasted the first pitch with two outs for a 9-0 lead.

The Giants tacked on three more in the seventh, with Patrick Bailey’s two-run double and Wade’s RBI single off Nick Robertson. They added three more in the ninth.
