Will Brennan had a big 2-run home run for the Giants in the bottom of the fourth inning. With San Francisco leading 3-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Kyle Hendricks, who is tied for 5th in the NL in strikeouts with 142, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Giants on top, 5-1.

"Nice win for us," said Brennan. "Now we'll go after the next one."
