OAKLAND, Calif. _ Evan Longoria picked up his 1,000th career RBI in the third inning Sunday with a solo home run to center field. But he didn't stop there.
Longoria's two-run single with the bases loaded in the seventh inning proved to be the difference as the Giants came away with a 5-4 win over the A's at the Coliseum to capture the Bay Bridge Series three games to one.
After seeing Buster Posey battle reliever Blake Treinen in an 11-pitch at-bat that resulted in a strikeout. Longoria took the first pitch he saw from the former A's closer to left field, scoring both Brandon Crawford and Donovan Solano to put the Giants up by one.
Reyes Moronto, Tony Watson and Will Smith each pitched one scoreless inning to help the Giants close out their nine-game road trip on a positive note.
Smith allowed a double to Josh Phegley _ after a video review _ with two outs in the ninth, but got Marcus Semien to ground out to short to pick up his 30th save of the season.
The Giants went 5-4 on the trip, which started with three straight wins, followed by four consecutive losses, before beating the A's Saturday and Sunday. The Giants start a six-game homestand Monday against Arizona.

Three of those runs came in the third inning when Webb allowed four straight hits, including a leadoff homer to Canha, doubles to Jurickson Profar and Corban Joseph and a single to Chad Pinder.
Solano and Stephen Vogt each had an RBI in the top of the second when the Giants scored twice to take a 2-0 lead. Solano finished the game 4-for-4 with a walk to raise his batting average to .349.
