MILWAUKEE, May 28 (UPI) -- Ryan Braun scored on Jonathan Lucroy's suicide squeeze bunt in the ninth inning Saturday, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-2 win over San Francisco.

Braun and Prince Fielder led off the ninth with singles off Guillermo Mota (2-2) and both moved up a base on Casey McGehee's ground out.

Then on a 1-0 pitch, Braun took off from third and Lucroy laid down a perfect bunt, allowing him to come across untouched with the winning run.

John Axford (1-1) picked up the win with a scoreless ninth. Brewers starter Randy Wolf limited the Giants to one earned run on three hits over 7 1/3 innings.

Carlos Gomez hit an inside-the-park homer in the first inning for Milwaukee, which evened their three-game series with the Giants at one win apiece.

The Giants, who trailed 2-0 for most of the contest, got a game-tying RBI single in the eighth inning from Pat Burrell.

San Francisco starter Jonathan Sanchez went seven innings, yielding two runs on only two hits.
