MILWAUKEE -- Jonathan Lucroy was right: The Brewers won't go 0-162.
Chris Carter hit his first Brewers home run in the third inning and lifted a tie-breaking sacrifice fly in the seventh for a 4-3 win over the Giants on Wednesday at Miller Park. The Brewers denied the Giants' bid for a season-opening sweep.
Starting pitchers Jeff Samardzija of San Francisco (making his Giants debut) and Taylor Jungmann of Milwaukee struggled to command the ball early before settling into a game decided by the bullpens. After Buster Posey's sixth-inning sacrifice fly tied the game at 3, the Brewers rallied in the seventh against Giants relievers Javier Lopez and Cory Gearrin.
