Aubrey Huff drove in a pair during a four-run seventh inning and Buster Posey homered as the San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-1 on Monday.
Pablo Sandoval had an RBI single for the Giants, who rebounded from a heart-breaking 15-inning loss in Colorado on Sunday.
Corey Hart extended his hitting streak to a major league-best 20 games for the Brewers, who went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
With the game tied at 1, the Giants loaded the bases off the normally reliable Kameron Loe (0-1), who saw his ERA rise from 0.93 to 2.75 in less than an inning.
The go-ahead run scored on an error by shortstop Alcides Escobar. Huff’s two-run single to left off Zach Braddock made it 4-1 and Freddy Sanchez later scored on a wild pitch.
Three pitchers then combined to allow two hits in relief of Jonathan Sanchez (7-6), who allowed one run and five hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked six.
Sanchez's counterpart Dave Bush allowed one run and five hits in six innings.
The Brewers took a 1-0 lead in the second off a bases loaded walk to Rickie Weeks. Sandoval's RBI single in the sixth tied it at 1.
