Johnny Cueto tossed seven superb shutout innings in front of a near-capacity crowd in San Francisco. A showman likes an audience and the flamboyant Giants hurler gave the home fans plenty to cheer about. Wilmer Flores doubled in the 4th and came in on a single by Brandon Crawford to make it 1-0. A solo shot from Curt Casali in the 7th made it 2-0 and Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee made it stand up for the team's eleventh shutout and 49th win.
Brandon Belt went to the IL as expected and LaMonte Wade, Jr. was recalled. Darin Ruf started and played first base, Wade pinch-hit for him in the 8th.
