SAN FRANCISCO-After a tumultuous couple of months that saw the San Francisco Giants fall from first place; and a season-high six and a half games out on August 12, the Giants have put themselves back into the National League playoff race.

Madison Bumgarner pitched six innings, allowing one run on five hits, while walking one and striking out seven and the San Francisco Giants defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 15-5 before 41,935 the 317th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.

This was the 16th win of the season for Bumgarner, tying him with Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most wins in the major leagues this season

With the victory, the Giants completed their first three-game sweep of the Brewers at AT&TPark since August 24-26, 2007.

This was the fifth sweep of the season for the Giants, and it was the sixth consecutive victory for the Giants and ends the home stand with a 6-1 record.

The 15 runs scored by the Giants are their most of the 2014 season, breaking their previous season high of 13 that they scored in the opener of this three-game series on Friday night.

Ryan Braun put the Brewers on the board in the top of the first inning, as he hit into a double play that scored Carlos Gomez from third base.

Gomez led off the game with a double off of Bumgarner, went to third on a Jonathan Lucroy single and then Braun hit into a double play.

Andrew Susac tied up the game in the bottom of the second inning, as he doubled in Pablo Sandoval, who tripled to leadoff the inning.

Hunter Pence would give the Giants the lead for good, as he doubled to score Angel Pagan, who singled with one out, then stole second and advanced to third base on a Martin Maldonado throwing error.

Joe Panik followed up Pagan’s single with and then Pence doubled in Pagan with the eventual winning run.

Pablo Sandoval then followed up Pence’s single with a single of his own to score Panik with the second run of the inning.

Pagan scored the Giants final run of the inning, as Michael Morse hit a sacrifice fly to score Pence.

Sandoval gave the Giants their next two runs of the game as he hit his 15th home run, a two-run shot that bounced into McCovey Cove off the portwalk in right field.

Pagan then drove in the Giants seventh run of the afternoon in the bottom of the sixth inning, as he singled in Brandon Crawford, who reached on a Fielders’ Choice after Susac singled to leadoff the inning.

Martin Maldonado hit a solo home run off of George Kontos in the top of the seventh inning that landed half way up the left field bleachers.

Pence tripled to leadoff the bottom of the seventh inning off of Alfredo Figaro, then Sandoval walked and then Pence scored his third run of the afternoon, when Figaro unleashed a wild pitch with Travis Ishikawa at the plate.

Following the wild pitch, Ishikawa singled to right field that sent Sandoval to third base and Figaro to the clubhouse, as Brewers manager Ron Roenicke saw enough and brought on Will Smith.

Susac added his second double of the afternoon to drive his second and third runs of the afternoon off of Will Smith.

Joaquin Arias got in on the act, as he hit a pinch hit double that scored Susac and sent Crawford, who walked to third base.

Panik tripled in Crawford and Arias, and then Panik himself scored, when Pence singled him in.

All in all, the Giants tacked on seven runs off of four Brewers relievers.

Brewers’ starter Kyle Lohse pitched five and two-thirds innings, allowing seven runs on nine hits, walking two and striking out three, as he saw his record fall to 12-8

Tim Lincecum, who was moved to the bullpen in place of Yusmeiro Petit, came on out of the bullpen to pitch the last two innings.

Lincecum went two innings, allowing three runs on three hits.

Ryan Braun hit his 18th home run of the season in the top of the eighth inning off of Lincecum.

Ishikawa scored the Giants final run of the afternoon in the bottom of the eighth inning, as he walked to lead off the inning, went to third on a Blanco double and then scored when Crawford grounded out to second base.

The Blanco double was the Giants 10th extra base hit of the afternoon, marking the first time in AT&TPark history that the Giants picked up 10 extra base hits in the same game.

It was the most extra base hits for the Giants as a team since hitting 10 extra base hits against the Philadelphia Phillies at CitizensBankPark on August 13, 2004.

NOTES: Following the game, the Giants made the following roster moves in preparation for September 1 callups.

Mike Kickham and Juan Perez were recalled from Fresno, right-hander Hunter Strickland was recalled from Richmond, Chris Dominguez and Guillermo Quiroz had their contracts purchased from Fresno. Ehire Adrianza and Hector Sanchez have been transferred to the 60-day disabled list.

In the six-game home stand, the Giants starters pitched 50.2 innings, allowing eight runs (six earned runs), good enough for a 1.07 earned run average seven walks and 57 strikeouts.

The three triples are the most by a Giants since moving into AT&T Park in 2000, and the most in a home game since May 8, 1977 against the New York Mets,
