San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Madison Bumgarner tossed seven innings of one-run ball and the San Francisco Giants topped the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-2, in the middle test of a three-game set at AT&T Park.

Bumgarner (5-1) gave up just six hits and one walk while striking out five. Javier Lopez finished off the eighth after Guillermo Mota served up a leadoff home run and Santiago Casilla tossed a scoreless ninth to record his fifth save of the season.

Bumgarner also added an RBI double. Buster Posey finished 2-for-4 with an RBI single, while Hector Sanchez, Conor Gillaspie and Brett Pill had an RBI apiece for the Giants, who snapped a four-game skid.

Ryan Braun cracked a solo homer and Alex Gonzalez added an RBI single for the Brewers, who have dropped three of their last four contests.

Randy Wolf (2-3) was tagged for four runs on nine hits while striking out three and did not walk a batter over six full frames.
