Milwaukee moved only three baserunners into scoring position against Giants starter Jake Peavy, who worked six innings. Fiers pitched respectably, yielding two hits before San Francisco's big seventh. The Brewers completed a 2-5 trip while going 6-for-47 with runners in scoring position, including 0-for-8 on Wednesday.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Defense does its part: Before contributing his key seventh-inning hit, Pence made a breathtaking third-inning catch of Hernan Perez's drive to the right-center-field gap. One inning later, Pence unleashed a one-hop throw that apprehended Jonathan Lucroy, who was trying to advance to third base on Ryan Braun's flyout.
