SAN FRANCISCO -- Chris Stratton employed a different strategy to achieve a similar result Monday night at AT&T Park, where he delivered six innings to propel the Giants to a 2-0 victory over the Brewers, San Francisco's first home shutout of the season.
Stratton (2-2) limited the Brewers to four hits while striking out only one batter. In his previous start Aug. 13 at Washington, the right-hander amassed 10 strikeouts while working 6 2/3 shutout innings. Stratton, who allowed only three runners to reach scoring position Monday, extended his streak of scoreless innings to 12 2/3 -- the longest by a Giants rookie since Chris Heston amassed 16 1/3 in July 2015.
