Milwaukee’s Randy Wolf (6-8) gave up five runs, one earned, in seven innings, striking out eight and walking four, but Craig Counsell’s two-run throwing error opened the door to San Francisco’s big inning.
Milwaukee’s Corey Hart had his 20-game hitting streak snapped.
Joe Inglett’s RBI single in the ninth off Giants reliever Sergio Romo broke up the shutout.
