Giants starter Matt Cain gave up just one run in seven innings, and his teammates gave him more than enough offensive support on Thursday in a 7-1 victory over the Brewers at AT&T Park.
Cain, a tough-luck pitcher the past two seasons, allowed just four hits. He struck out five and walked two.
The Giants took a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. Fred Lewis led off with a double and scored when Bengie Molina drove a Manny Parra pitch off the right-field wall for another double.
Molina took third on a wild pitch and scored on Aaron Rowand's single to center.
The Giants added three runs in the fifth. Cain led off with a walk, and Randy Winn singled him to second. Edgar Renteria then grounded to third baseman Craig Counsell, who stepped on third, forcing Cain. But when Counsell threw wildly to first, Winn raced all the way around to score on the error, making it 3-0.
When Parra walked Lewis, his day was done. Enter right-handed reliever Mark DiFelice.
Molina greeted DiFelice with a two-run double to left-center, scoring Renteria and Lewis and pushing the Giants' lead to 5-0.
