Bill Hall homered twice and had a career-high six RBIs, leading Milwaukee to a 13-4 rout of the San Francisco Giants on Friday in the Brewers' home opener. It was the third career two-homer game for Hall, who didn't hit a home run during spring training. Prince Fielder went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs, and Gabe Kapler drove in a pair of runs.

The Brewers have won three of their first four games after taking two out of three from Chicago in their season-opening series at Wrigley Field. Carlos Villanueva (1-0) tied a career high with six strikeouts, going 5 1-3 innings. He held the Giants scoreless until the sixth, when he gave up two runs and Brian Shouse relieved. Salomon Torres pitched three innings for his first save. (More Milwaukee Brewers stories.)
