Webb (12-9) allowed one run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. The only blemish on his line came in the second, when Jake Bauers was hit by a pitch and scored on Caleb Durbin's double.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta struck out six over five scoreless innings, but Milwaukee's usually reliable bullpen couldn't preserve a 1-0 lead as the Giants tagged right-hander Grant Anderson (2-5) for three unearned runs in the sixth. They added four more in the seventh against rookie Carlos Rodriguez on Schmitt's homer and an RBI single by Patrick Bailey.
