SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Heliot Ramos hit a leadoff homer in the first inning and had a go-ahead single in the eighth, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Athletics on Sunday that completed a series sweep.<\/p>\n

\n

The three-game set was the teams’ first meeting in the Northern California rivalry since the Athletics relocated from Oakland to Sacramento.<\/p>\n

With the Giants trailing 2-1 in the eighth, LaMonte Wade Jr. hit a leadoff triple and Patrick Bailey drove him in with a single to tie it. Ramos\u00b4 one-out single to left drove in Bailey from second to cap the rally against A\u00b4s reliever Tyler Ferguson (0-2).<\/p>\n

Randy Rodriguez (3-0) earned the win after throwing a scoreless eighth and Ryan Walker got three outs for his eighth save.<\/p>\n

After Ramos gave the Giants a 1-0 lead with a leadoff homer against A’s starter Jeffrey Springs, Lawrence Butler\u00b4s two-out single with the bases loaded in the fourth off San Francisco starter Justin Verlander gave the A\u00b4s a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Springs allowed two hits and walked none while striking out five in 6 2\/3 innings, retiring 20 straight batters after Ramos’ homer. Springs has given up just four runs over his last four starts.<\/p>\n

Verlander allowed two runs in four innings and is still searching for his first win of the season through 10 starts – the longest such drought to start a season in his 20-year MLB career.<\/p>\n

Giants No. 9 hitter Christian Koss dropped down a bunt to move Bailey to second in the eighth. That allowed the catcher to score the go-ahead run on Ramos\u00b4 single.<\/p>\n

Verlander walked five in four innings with just one strikeout.<\/p>\n

Athletics: RHP JT Ginn (1-1, 4.61 ERA) will start Monday to kick off a four-game set at home against the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n

Giants: LHP Robbie Ray (6-0, 3.04 ERA) is scheduled to pitch in the first of a three-game set against Kansas City on Monday.<\/p>\n
