3 things: Giants’ Rodriguez dominated by Yankees’ reserve bats in sweep finale

Interleague play began back in 1997, and since then the mighty Yankees have yet to hand the Giants a series sweep.

Every Giant was outmatched by his counterpart in the visitor’s dugout.

But Sunday afternoon, no one looked more overmatched than the Giants’ starter, Dereck Rodriguez.
