Brandon Crawford’s two home runs powered the Giants to complete the sweep of the Braves in Atlanta for the first time since 1988. Madison Bumgarner’s six innings of three-hit ball limited the Braves to one run just as Tim Lincecum and Ryan Vogelsong had done in the previous games.

The Giants are 15-1 when they score first, and their overall record is 20-11; nine games above .500 is the high-water mark this season. They are 3-0 on the road trip as they move on to Pittsburgh for three games.
