Jerar Encarnacion, Mike Yastrzemski and Matt Chapman homered as part of a 17-hit attack, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 13-2 blowout of the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.
Blake Snell rebounded from a poor outing with five strong innings as the Giants (72-74) leveled the three-game series at one win apiece.
After Snell pitched a 1-2-3 top of the first, the Giants wasted no time jumping on Brewers starter Colin Rea, with Tyler Fitzgerald lashing the right-hander's second pitch for a double.
Encarnacion capped a four-run uprising with a two-out, two-run homer, his fourth of the season.
San Francisco made it a blowout with four more runs in the second. Again a double -- this one by Patrick Bailey -- got it going. Fitzgerald recorded his second double in two innings to knock in a run, and Yastrzemski made it 8-0 with a three-run home run, his 15th.
Rea (12-5) remained in the game and served up a two-run homer to Chapman, his 24th, in the fourth. Milwaukee's winningest pitcher left after completing the inning, charged with 10 runs on 11 hits, with one walk and one strikeout.
Snell (3-3) coasted through his outing, allowing a single run on back-to-back doubles by Blake Perkins and William Contreras in the third. The left-hander, pulled after one inning on Sept. 5 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, limited the Brewers to four hits. He struck out eight and walked two.
Austin Warren and Sean Hjelle combined for four innings of two-hit relief, finishing off the Giants' third win in four games.
The Brewers (83-62) scored once off Warren in the seventh on an RBI single by Andruw Monasterio.
Fitzgerald finished with three hits and three runs for the Giants, whose double-figure scoring output was their first since July 26 against the Colorado Rockies. Bailey also had three hits.
Yastrzemski drove in four runs and Encarnacion knocked in three. Each had two hits, as did LaMonte Wade Jr.
Wade drove in two runs, while Marco Luciano scored twice after entering the game as a pinch hitter. Both hit an RBI double as the Giants capped their scoring in the ninth with Milwaukee first baseman Jake Bauers on the mound.
The loss was the fifth in the last seven games for the Brewers, whose lead in the National League Central remained at 8 1/2 games as the Chicago Cubs lost 10-8 to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
