SAN FRANCISCO-After seeing the New York Mets jump out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, the San Francisco Giants knew the game was long from over.

Gregor Blanco hit a two-run double in the bottom of the second inning that scored Tyler Colvin and Brandon Crawford, as the completed their first three-game sweep of the Mets since August 20-22, 2002 with a 6-4 victory before 41,911, the 277th consecutive regular season sellout at AT&T Park.

This was the Giants fifth win in a row overall, and fifth win in a row at AT&T Park, a place they have not lost since losing to the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on May 26 and their fourth sweep of the season, including their third at AT&T Park.

On the flipside of things, the Mets have lost a season-high six consecutive games, their longest losing streak since May 10-15, 2013, when they also lost six consecutive games.

Curtis Granderson gave the Mets that 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, as he hit a Tim Lincecum pitch into the center field seats.

Crawford got the Giants on the board in the bottom of the second inning, as he completed a trio of Giants who led off the inning with singles, when Hector Sanchez scored from second base.

Former Giants farmhand Zack Wheeler then struck out Brandon Hicks and Lincecum, and then Blanco doubled to right field to score Colvin and Crawford; however Blanco was thrown out at third base while attempting to stretch his double into a triple.

Lincecum went six innings, allowing three runs on six hits, walking one and striking out six on his way to his fifth win of the season.

Over his last seven starts versus the Mets, Lincecum improves to 6-0 with a 1.72 earned run average with 55 strikeouts.

Granderson got the Mets within one run in the top of the sixth inning, as he hit his second home run of the game, a solo home run that landed in McCovey Cove.

It was the first multi-home run game for Granderson of the 2014 season, and his first as member of the Mets and the 15th multi-home run game of his career.

Granderson’s last multi-home run came on October 3, 2012 against the Boston Red Sox, while he played for the New York Yankees.

The “Splash Hit” by Granderson was the fifth by a Mets player since AT&T Park on April 11, 2000, as Granderson joins Carlos Delgado with two and Cliff Floyd with two.

Delgado’s second and last “Splash Hit” came on May 9, 2007 off of former Giants pitcher Matt Morris

Wheeler lasted just 3.2 innings, allowing four runs on six hits, walking two, striking out six and hitting a batter.

Blanco gave the Giants a two-run lead for the second time on the afternoon, as he singled in the bottom of the seventh inning to score Ehire Adrianza, who singled while batting for Ehire Adrianza, went to second on a Carlos Torres wild pitch and then scored on the Blanco single.

After getting the first two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Jeremy Affeldt gave up a single to Daniel Murphy and then Granderson picked up his third hit of the game after he doubled to right field.

Jean Machi then came on to replace Affeldt, and with Chris Young at the plate, Machi unleashed a wild pitch that allowed Murphy to score from third base and send Granderson to third base.

Machi then recovered to get Young to flyout to Colvin in left field to end the threat.

Brandon Hicks gave the Giants their third two-run of the afternoon, as he singled up the middle to score Crawford from second base after he doubled to the base of the center field wall.

Sergio Romo came on to replace Javier Lopez, who walked Lucas Duda to leadoff the top of the ninth inning and Romo promptly struck out Eric Campbell, got Anthony Recker to ground out to Hicks at second base and then ended the game by striking out Wilmer Flores to notch his 20th save of the season.
