Brian Wilson finished a perfect ninth by striking out Adam Dunn to notch his 12th save of the season.

San Francisco’s Aubrey Huff went 3-for-4 and hit a leadoff homer in the fourth.

Dunn and Josh Willingham hit solo homers for Washington, while Willingham also had a seventh-inning sacrifice fly that gave his team a 4-2 lead.

Reliever Santiago Casilla (1-0) got the win for the Giants after starter Barry Zito gave up four runs – three earned – and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Washington starter Craig Stammen gave up three runs – two earned – and five hits in 6 1/3 innings.
