By the time the sixth inning ended, this game had stopped being a contest. San Francisco turned a tight early lead into a rout, piling up 13 runs across the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to bury Milwaukee 16-3 at Oracle Park.

Daniel Susac was at the center of it. He went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBIs and a walk, and his second-inning blast set the tone for everything that followed. Heliot Ramos added four hits and three RBIs, Luis Arraez collected four hits of his own, and Jung Hoo Lee drove in three runs. Christian Koss scored three times as the Giants' lineup turned over again and again.
San Francisco broke the game open in the second when Susac homered to center, plating Lee and Adames to make it 0-3, a swing that gave the Giants a lead they never gave back. The real damage came in the sixth, when San Francisco sent a parade of runners across: Koss singled home Adames, Arraez drove in Susac, Ramos delivered a two-run single scoring J. Rodríguez and Koss, and an error by catcher Sánchez let in another run before Lee's double brought home two more, pushing the score to 2-10. The Giants kept adding on in the seventh and eighth, with Susac's second homer, a solo shot to left center, part of a six-run stretch across those two frames that put the game away.
Milwaukee got individual runs from Turang, Bauers and Lara, chipping away at the deficit early with a fielder's-choice grounder and a sac-out, but the Brewers' pitching couldn't keep pace. The unnamed Brewers starter lasted just 3.0 innings, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 3 hits with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts before taking the loss, his first of the season. The bullpen fared far worse, combining for 13 runs (12 earned) over 5.0 innings as San Francisco's lineup kept coming.
Logan Webb worked 6.0 innings for the win, allowing 2 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits with a walk and 4 strikeouts, improving to 6-7 with a 3.93 ERA. San Francisco's bullpen closed it out, covering 3.0 innings and allowing just 1 run. The Giants, who snapped a losing skid to move to 46-62, got the win while Milwaukee, still atop its division at 67-41, fell to 1-1 on the young week. Willy Adames, sitting at 198 career home runs, went 1-for-3 with a walk but did not go deep, remaining two shy of the 200 mark.
