SAN FRANCISCO — As the season started to collapse on the last homestand, the Giants at least could lean on one fact. They had seven games left against a San Diego Padres team they were hoping to chase down.

The Padres played just eight games against National League West opponents over the season’s first two months. They did not face the Dodgers until June 8, the furthest into a season the two team met for the first time in 25 years.

Nick Pivetta allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings and Ramón Laureano had three of the Padres’ 14 hits as San Diego completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with an 11-1 rout.

It didn’t just summarize this three-game series, one where the Giants (59-62) were swept by the Padres and lost their 13th home game in their last 14 tries — the first time that’s happened since the team moved to San Francisco.

Sheets has a .656 OPS against lefties this year, while O’Hearn has a .752 OPS against lefties that’s better than the lefties — Cronenworth (.733), Merrill (.667) and Arraez (.666) — in Tuesday’s lineup.

BOTTOM LINE: The San Francisco Giants host the San Diego Padres on Monday to open a three-game series. San Francisco is 59-59 overall and 29-28 at home. The Giants have a 33-18 record in games when they did not give up a home run.
