A series that began so promisingly finished as an unmitigated disaster for the Milwaukee Brewers .

Less than 24 hours after they were shut out by the San Francisco Giants , their pitching was pummeled both literally and figuratively in a 12-9 loss that left the Brewers to settle for only a split of the four-game set at American Family Field.

Coleman Crow started and lasted only 2 ⅓ innings, being scorched for nine hits and six runs along the way, then relievers DL Hall and Grant Anderson needed to be removed from the game with injuries – not great news with a road trip beginning at Colorado 's Coors Field on Friday and then continuing against the A's in Las Vegas.

BOX SCORE: Giants12, Brewers 9

Jake Woodford , next man up out of the bullpen, was quickly rocked as he surrendered a grand slam to Eric Haase with the Giants batting around for the second time on the day en route to a six-run seventh.

In all, the Giants racked up 20 hits – most allowed by the Brewers since 2017.

Jackson Chourio homered twice and collected three hits to provide most of Milwaukee's offense while David Hamilton also went deep in the eighth and then nearly tied the game up in the game's final at-bat with a drive to center that was ultimately caught.

Two-dinger day for Jackson Chourio

Christian Yelich 's leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh set Chourio up for his big moment, a two-run homer to center that gave him his third career two-homer game and pulled the Brewers to within 12-5.

Andrew Vaughn almost had a two-run homer of his own four batters later only to have Drew Gilbert climb the wall in right-center and rob him with a leaping grab.

Then in the eighth, David Hamilton went to the opposite field for a two-out solo homer to cut the deficit down to 12-6.

Woodford took one for the team and carried the game to the finish line after his rough sixth, allowing seven hits and four runs with a strikeout in three innings and 56 pitches.

Milwaukee made things interesting in the bottom of the ninth by loading the bases with nobody out and then Blake Perkins drawing a walk to make it 12-7.

A groundout by Sal Frelick and single by Luis Rengifo made it 9-0, then Hamilton sent a drive the warning track only to see his potentially game-tying, three-run homer reeled in to end it.

Brewers center fielder Jackson Chourio is unable to get to a ball hit by Giants catcher Eric Haase that went for a for a grand slam in the seventh inning on June 4 at American Family Field.

Day goes from bad to worse in a hurry

With the offense doing nothing against Houser , Hall was at least a bright spot as he allowed only a single over his 2 ⅓ innings until leaving the game with head athletic trainer Brad Epstein after injuring himself while facing his eighth batter on the day.

Manager Pat Murphy said after the game Hall suffered a left sub-scapular and pectoral strain with imaging yet to come.

In the bottom of the frame the offense did show signs of life as Yelich doubled, Chourio homered and Brice Turang doubled to make it 6-3 and chase Houser from the game.

But things took another bad turn in the seventh when Anderson took an 89.6-mph line drive from Bryce Eldridge off his right forearm and was also forced from the game.

Anderson suffered a contusion, but said after the game X-rays were negative.

Woodford took over for Anderson and two batters later the ex-Brewer Haase belted a grand slam to center to break the game wide open.

The Giants went on to plate six runs in the seventh, racking up seven straight hits at one point in the process, to leave the Brewers in a 12-3 crater.

A short afternoon for Coleman Crow

After Crow tossed a 1-2-3 second, back to back doubles by Willy Adames and Jung Ho Lee were followed by a walk and a Matt Chapman single. Crow recovered briefly by striking out Haase, but a single by Gilbert followed, and manager Pat Murphy pulled the plug at that point.

Hall entered and allowed a sacrifice fly to Casey Schmitt as San Francisco stretched its lead to 6-1, then struck out Rafael Devers to finish the frame.

Over 2 ⅓ innings and 70 pitches, Crow (0-1) surrendered nine hits, six runs and two walks with two strikeouts – easily the worst of his four starts for the Brewers this season.

An awful beginning

Schmitt, swinging at the first pitch, sent a drive to left field that bounced off the top of the wall, over and into the Brewers bullpen for a 1-0 Giants lead. Chourio, seemingly unsure of where he was on the warning track, bumped into the wall before even being able to try for a leaping catch.

From there, San Francisco racked up four more hits – including three straight with two outs – to leave Milwaukee in a 3-0 hole and Crow reeling.

The Brewers offense did get a run back in the bottom of the frame after Chourio drew a one-out walk, moved to third on a Turang infield single and throwing error by Adames and scored on a sacrifice fly to right by William Contreras .
