The Brewers are 75-56 with the loss. They have a nine-point lead in the NL Central over the second-place Chicago Cubs. San Francisco is now 67-66. The Giants are 12 points behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

San Francisco tied the game at two apiece in the top of the fourth inning when Giants third baseman Matt Chapman ripped a solo home run. In the next inning, Brewers center fielder Blake Perkins stole a home run from Thairo Estrada.
