Lee homered to right center in the third inning, a 410-foot shot that made it 3-0, then went deep again to right center in the eighth, this time for 385 feet and a 4-0 lead. He also added a sacrifice fly in the ninth, when McCray scored to push San Francisco ahead 5-0.

Giants build the lead

San Francisco scored first in the second inning. Gilbert singled to right, and Susac scored on a fielding error by right fielder Nimmo as Gilbert moved to third. Basabe followed with a sacrifice fly to right that brought in Gilbert for a 2-0 lead.
