It seems even when the San Francisco Giants pickup just three hits in the game they find a way to win, and put an end to their losing streak.

Buster Posey hit a two-run home run in the top of the first inning, and Angel Pagan hit a two run single in the top of the second inning, as the Giants salavged the series finale with a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.

The Posey and Pagan hits were two of the three hits that the Giants received from their offense on the afternoomn, as their pitching staff helped them put an end to their three-game losing streak.

Brandon Crawford picked the other Giants hit on the after just prior to Pagan’s two-run single in the top of the second, as the Padres stymied the Giants offense for the remainder of the afternoon.

Pagan’s two-run single came after Brandon Hicks walked, Crawford singled and then Tim Lincecum walked to load the bases against Padres starting pitcher Robbie Erlin.

Posey hit a long two-run home run off of Erlin in the top of the first inning that also scored Hunter Pence, who walked with one out in the inning.

After the Pagan hit in the top of the second inning, the Padres pitching staff simply dominated the game, as they retired 23 of the next 24 Giants.

Walks hurt Erlin, as he went six innings, allowing four runs on three hits, walking three and striking out three, as he retired 14 consecutive batters after Pagan’s single in the top of the second.

Lincecum, who threw a no-hitter at Petco Park on July 13, 2013, improved to 14-6 in 27 career starts against the Padres, his most against any team.

Nick Hundley hit a solo home run off of Lincecum in the bottom of the seventh inning that shortened the score down to 4-3 and finished Lincecum’s day on the mound.

Lincecum went six innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, walking three and striking out seven, as he won for the first time in 2014.

Things got interesting in the bottom of the ninth inning, as closer Sergio Romo issued a leadoff walk to Chase Headley, went to second on Romo wild pitch, but Yasmani Grandal to popout to Crawford, Hundley flew out to left for the second out and then Yonder Alonso flew out to Pagan for the final out of the game, as Romo notched his fifth save in as many opportunities this season.

Bruce Bochy challenged a call in the bottom of the third inning, as former Giants outfielder Xavier Nady was called at the plate; however it was confirmed that Posey indeed placed the tag on the former CAL Golden Bears standout and the call was reversed.
