SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants made AT&T Park look like Coors Field in the first home series of the season, bombing eight home runs while racking up a 3-1 record against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
Now they get a shot at the real Coors Field, where they will start a three-game series Tuesday,
The Giants opened the season with six homers in Milwaukee while winning two of three, and finished the week with at least one home run in each of their seven games, a franchise record.
The impressive thing about the 14 homers is they’ve come from 11 different players, including pitcher Madison Bumgarner. Nobody has more than two.
Even the No. 9 hitter — Ehire Adrianza on Friday and Angel Pagan on Sunday — have gone deep.
“It’s a team that’s going to hit with more power,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after watching his club belt three homers in Sunday’s 9-6 win over the Dodgers. “That doesn’t just mean home runs. Throughout the lineup, we have guys who can drive the ball.
“We’re not going to rely on the long ball, but it certainly helps.”
The Giants hit eight homers in the four games against the Dodgers, all by different players.
