Casey Schmitt hit his first career leadoff home run to help the San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers 12-9 on Thursday afternoon at American Family Field. The win allowed the Giants to split their four-game series.
Schmitt drove the first pitch from Milwaukee right-hander Coleman Crow 379 feet for his 13th homer of the season. The blast sparked a three-run first inning for San Francisco. The Giants collected 20 hits in total. Jung Hoo Lee went 4-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, while Eric Haase hit a grand slam in a six-run seventh inning. Manager Tony Vitello praised the team's offense and noted Schmitt's versatility across multiple positions this season. The Giants improved to 25-38 and will continue their road trip against the Cubs in Chicago.
