San Francisco has won seven of nine overall heading into the All-Star break after losing 14 of its previous 18.

"This is what we wanted, we wanted some momentum going into the All-Star break," said Belt, who had troublesome right knee drained after the game. "It was important for us to get going (so) we could carry some of those good vibes and that momentum into the break so we can come out on the other side feeling good and ready to go. It’s definitely a big boost of confidence for us."

The NL Central-leading Brewers are heading in the opposite direction with their eighth loss in 11 games. Milwaukee’s division lead fell to a half game over St. Louis after the Cardinals were rained out against the Reds.

Webb (9-3) bounced back after Willy Adames’ 19th home run with one out in the first inning. Backed by a pair of double plays, Webb allowed two runs and four hits with five strikeouts.
