Jonathan Sanchez dominated into the seventh inning, Andres Torres homered, and Brian Wilson recorded his first save as the San Francisco Giants beat Dan Haren and the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0, putting an end to a six game losing streak. 

Sanchez last 6 2/3 shutout innings, surrendering two hits and four walks while striking out four as he notched his first victory of the season.  Catcher Benjie Molina’s run scoring single in the fourth proved to be the only run necessary.  Jeremy Affeldt, Bob Howry, and Brian Wilson slammed the door, combing for 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief with Wilson pitching the final 1 1/3 for the save. 

Haren, the evening’s Matt Cain, picked up the tough loss, surrendering five hits and one walk in six innings, falling to 0-3 while his ERA dropped to 1.89 for the season.   The teams will meet again on Saturday afternoon as Tim Lincecum faces lefty Doug Davis.
