Giants end stellar June with rout of first-place Diamondbacks
PHOENIX — Fifteen games ended with the Giants shaking hands near the mound, three more in joyous dogpiles on walkoff hits. Only 10 times did they retreat to their clubhouse in silence, without the strobe lights, bubble machine and music that greet the players after every victory.
The Giants ended an 18-10 June on Saturday night, their first winning month in two years, with an atypically serene 7-0 victory against the Diamondbacks that ensured them a series victory against the only opponent to take a series at AT&T Park this season.
Brandon Crawford, Andrew McCutchen and Joe Panik homered in the Giants’ ninth win in their past 11 games.
