LaMonte Wade Jr. and J.D. Davis slugged back-to-back home runs, while Joey Bart added another, in the Giants’ first win in the month of August.

OAKLAND — The Giants rode back-to-back blasts to a win in the first game of the Bay Bridge series and their first victory in the month of August, six days since the calendar turned.

Making his first start since the the Giants held on to him at the trade deadline, Carlos Rodón was far from dominant but limited Oakland to a lone run over 5⅓ innings. San Francisco spotted him an early lead with runs in each of the first two innings, before LaMonte Wade Jr. and J.D. Davis blew the game open with back-to-back home runs in the sixth.

The Giants’ seven runs were their most in 16 games since the All-Star break, a stretch of baseball that features only four wins and has sunk them 6.5 games back of the wild card, even after Saturday’s game. All four wins since the break have come against clubs with winning percentages of .406 or below.
