Aurilia’s Hit Gives Giants a Victory

Rich Aurilia’s run-scoring single in the 11th inning gave the San Francisco Giants a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers Friday night.

With one out, Felipe Crespo drew a walk from Curtis Leskanic (2-4) and went to third on Calvin Murray’s single up the middle. Crespo scored on Aurilia’s base hit to left field.

Chad Zerbe (3-0) pitched the top of the 11th for the victory.

The Brewers have won only two of their last 12 games. Their series against the Giants was the only National League matchup in a weekend of interleague play.

Pedro Feliz tied it at 2-2 for the Giants in the fifth inning with a solo home run off Milwaukee starter Allen Levault, who was recalled Friday from triple-A Indianapolis.

The Brewers made it 2-0 in the fourth on Richie Sexson’s two-run home run off Giant starter Mark Gardner. The shot to left-center scored Mark Loretta, who was hit by a pitch.

The Giants cut it to 2-1 in the bottom half, when Jeff Kent’s triple scored Barry Bonds, who doubled.

Bonds, who has 39 home runs, has not hit one in 11 games.
