SAN FRANCISCO, May 10 (UPI) -- Jason Schmidt gave up five hits in pitching a complete game victory in the San Francisco Giants' 6-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
San Francisco's Barry Bonds did not hit a home run in Tuesday's game -- although one shot he hit was hauled in from over the fence by the Cubs' Juan Pierre -- and remained one home run behind Babe Ruth for second place on the all-time home run list.
Schmidt (3-2) allowed one run while scattering five hits and striking out six in his second consecutive complete game outing. He retired 19 of the first 20 Cubs he faced. The lone Cubs run came on a home run from Michael Barrett in the second inning.
Chicago starter Rich Hill (0-2) allowed five runs in taking the loss, the eighth consecutive for the Cubs. San Francisco scored single runs in the first, fourth and sixth innings with Mike Matheny driving in the runs in the fourth and sixth for the Giants 3-1 lead.
Randy Winn hit a home run to lead off the San Francisco seventh and Lance Niekro completed the score with a 2-run shot later in the inning.
