GIANTS 8, BREWERS 4
at Phoenix
Tuesday, March 11

Giants at the plate: Ray Durham went 4-for-4 including a single in the second inning, when San Francisco sent 10 men to the plate against Brewers starter Ben Sheets and scored five runs. Fred Lewis and Aaron Rowand had two-run hits in the inning and each finished 2-for-4.

Brewers at the plate: Mike Cameron hit an RBI triple and scored on Prince Fielder's sacrifice fly as the Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but the Giants went on to score the next eight runs in the game.

Giants on the mound: Matt Cain was sharp after the first, working three more scoreless innings and striking out four Brewers during his four-inning start. Kevin Gryboski and Steve Kline each pitched an inning of perfect relief to help snap Milwaukee's five-game winning streak and end San Francisco's four-game winless streak.

Brewers on the mound: Sheets worked a scoreless first inning, then struggled through the second and allowed his first runs of the spring. He was penciled in for at least four innings of work but lasted just three, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks. It could have been worse; Cain slashed what looked what it would be an RBI single, but center fielder Cameron threw out Giants catcher Eliezer Alfonzo at home plate. Reliever Guillermo Mota continued his string of success, pitching a scoreless inning for the fifth time this spring.

Cactus League records: Giants 4-10, Brewers 9-5.

Giants up next: Tim Lincecum is the scheduled starter when the Giants host the Padres on Wednesday in a matchup of National League West rivals.
