San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Brandon Crawford drove in a pair of runs, Brandon Belt doubled twice and the Giants defeated the Cardinals, 7-5, on Thursday in the finale of a two-game series.

Emmanuel Burriss hit a game-tying sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and San Francisco went ahead for good later in the frame when Belt scored on a throwing error by Cardinals third baseman David Freese.

Matt Cain (3-2) allowed four runs over six innings to record the win for the Giants, who halted a two-game skid and earned a split in the brief series.

Matt Holliday had a two-run homer and a sac fly for the Cardinals, losers of five of their last seven games overall.

Adam Wainwright (2-5) was charged with five runs -- two earned -- on six hits and four walks over 5 2/3 innings.
