SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants at times have been hard-pressed for lucky bounces amid a disappointing season. But Jarrett Parker -- whose own season took an unlucky turn when he fractured his collarbone in April -- found a stroke of good fortune Wednesday when he tried to check his swing, but instead made contact and dropped a two-run double down the left-field line to help the Giants top the Brewers, 4-2.
Pinch-hitter Denard Span got the seventh-inning rally started when he doubled. A batter later, Gorkys Hernandez got aboard when Brewers reliever Jacob Barnes misfired a pitch to hit Hernandez.
