ATLANTA, July 23 (UPI) -- Barry Zito gave up a run and just three hits in seven innings Thursday, leading San Francisco to a 5-1 win over Atlanta.
He walked five batters, struck out six and avoided the big inning by inducing two key double plays.
Zito (6-10) got the win when San Francisco scored four times in the top of the eighth.
Randy Winn had two hits and one RBI. Pablo Sandoval and Fred Lewis had one RBI apiece.
Two eighth-inning runs scored on errors, while Nate Schierholtz and Travis Ishikawa added three hits each for the Giants, who averted a four-game sweep.
Relievers Jeremy Affeldt and Brian Wilson both gave up one hit.
Atlanta's run scored on Yunel Escobar's second-inning homer.
Five others had one hit, but Chipper Jones went 0-for-4 for the Braves, who had won four in a row.
The losing pitcher was former closer Mike Gonzalez (3-3).
