OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Nick Swisher hit a pair of two-run homers, Rich Harden threw seven innings of one-hit ball and the Oakland Athletics swept a three-game series from the San Francisco Giants for the first time with a 16-0 win Sunday.
The A's matched the franchise record for largest margin of shutout victory, most recently on May 23, 1959, against the White Sox as the Kansas City A's. It broke the Oakland record for biggest shutout win — the previous was 15 on Aug. 30, 2001, at Baltimore.
It was the largest shutout defeat in San Francisco history and matched its biggest loss, which last happened in a 19-3 home defeat against Montreal on May 7, 1997. The Giants also lost to the Cubs 15-0 on Aug. 22, 1970.
