SAN FRANCISCO — LaMonte Wade Jr. homered twice and the San Francisco Giants avoided a three-game sweep, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Sunday.

Wilmer Flores and Thairo Estrada also went deep for San Francisco. The Giants improved to a majors-best 62-37 and maintained their slim lead over the Dodgers in the NL West heading into a series between the two division rivals this week at Oracle Park.

Alex Wood (9-3) struck out eight and pitched into the sixth to help San Francisco bounce back a day after the Giants lost 10-2 in their most-lopsided defeat this season.

Bryan Reynolds had two hits and scored for the Pirates.
