LaMonte Wade Jr. and J.D. Davis each homered and drove in 5 runs apiece in the Giants’ largest shutout win of their rivals since the teams moved west in 1958.
LOS ANGELES — LaMonte Wade Jr. and J.D. Davis continued to make their All-Star cases Saturday while Alex Wood enjoyed a successful return from a two-week absence to lead the Giants over the Dodgers, 15-0, extending their winning streak to a season-best six games.
Davis blew the game open with a pinch-hit grand slam in the sixth off Los Angeles reliever Alex Vesia, after Wade opened a 4-0 lead with a three-run shot down the right field line in the fifth. The 15-run margin made for the Giants’ biggest blowout of their rivals since a 19-3 win on Sept. 14, 2013, and their largest shutout victory in the rivalry since the teams moved to California in 1958.
There hasn’t been a hotter team over the past month than the Giants, who own the majors’ best record since May 15 , allowing them to pull within a half game of the Dodgers for second place in the NL West and into sole possession of the second wild card spot.
