LOS ANGELES — – Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez hit a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning, Emmet Sheehan<\/a> did not give up a run in 5 1\/3 innings, and the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> beat the San Francisco Giants<\/a> 3-1 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez jumped on the first pitch he saw from Sam Hentges<\/a> (1-7), driving in Max Muncy<\/a> to put the Dodgers ahead 2-1. Muncy pushed an insurance run across with a single in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Kris Bubic<\/a> (4-2) pitched 2\/3 of an inning for the win, and Tanner Scott<\/a> handled the ninth inning for his 23rd save.<\/p>\n

Sheehan made the most of a bullpen game to strengthen his credentials for making the Dodgers’ postseason roster as a long reliever. He had nine strikeouts against one hit and one walk after taking over from Jack Dreyer<\/a> in the second inning.<\/p>\n

Matt Wilkinson<\/a> allowed three hits and no walks while striking out six in five scoreless innings, but the Giants’ bullpen buckled. The 23-year-old left-hander was acquired as part of the trade<\/a> that sent catcher Patrick Bailey<\/a> to Cleveland in May.<\/p>\n

Tommy Edman<\/a> homered to right in the sixth inning to tie the game at 1, tagging reliever Carson Seymour<\/a> for the 400-foot shot.<\/p>\n

Jonah Cox<\/a> drew a leadoff walk to help spot the Giants their 1-0 lead. Cox reached second on a bad pickoff attempt by Dreyer before stealing third, and Victor Bericoto’s single drove him home.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Giants: RHP Blade Tidwell<\/a> (1-2, 4.56 ERA) starts in the opener of a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins<\/a> on Monday night, facing RHP Bailey Ober<\/a> (7-6, 4.32).<\/p>\n

Dodgers: Manager Dave Roberts said there would be another bullpen game Tuesday night to start a three-game series against the San Diego Padres<\/a>, who have yet to set their rotation.<\/p>\n
