ATLANTA, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Aaron Rowand homered and had two RBI and Barry Zito pitched seven shutout innings Monday when the San Francisco Giants posted a 5-0 victory over Atlanta.

Zito (7-15) allowed five hits and two walks without a run for his first win since Aug. 2.

Rich Aurilia and Pablo Sandoval also drove in runs for the Giants, who won three of four in the series.

Atlanta starter Jorge Campillo (7-6) gave up five runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings. The Braves have lost seven of their last eight games.
