Ilya Kovalchuk Jersey . Andres Torres went 2-for-6 with a solo homer and scored three times, while Buster Posey also hit a solo shot for the Giants, who earned their first-ever sweep of the Brewers and have won five of their last six overall. Freddy Sanchez chipped in with three hits, two RBI and scored twice. "We played as good a series as weve played all year. Todays game wasnt the greatest in the world on either side, but the win gave us a four-game sweep and well take that any day," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. Dan Runzler (3-0) picked up the win for retiring the final two batters in the sixth inning. Giants starter Barry Zito allowed two runs on seven hits with six walks and seven strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings. Rickie Weeks and Prince Fielder each finished with two hits and an RBI for Milwaukee, which has dropped five straight and six of seven. Manny Parra (3-6) suffered the loss after getting raked for 10 hits and six runs -- four earned -- over five frames. The lefty also struck out five and walked a pair. San Francisco plated a first-inning run to grab the early lead. Torres led off the game with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, then to third on a balk and came home on a Huff base hit. The Brewers offensive struggles continued in the second inning, as they loaded the bases with nobody out, but Zito pitched out of trouble unscathed. Sanchez started the third with a single and scored when Huff followed with a homer to right for a 3-0 game. Then in the fourth, Sanchez roped a two- run double down the left-field line, took third on an error and scored on Huffs sac fly to center to put the Giants ahead 6-0. Fielders run-scoring base in the home half got the Brewers on the board. Milwaukee loaded the bases off Zito with two outs in the fifth and Giants manager Bruce Bochy replaced the left-hander with Denny Bautista, who walked Weeks to force in a run. However, Alcides Escobar struck out to end the inning. Again with the bases full and nobody out in the sixth, the Brewers could only push one across one when Carlos Gomez drew a free pass to make it a 6-3 game. Torres led off the eighth with a homer to right. Posey hit a solo shot and pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa chased in another with a single in the top of the ninth to up the Giants advantage to 9-3. Brian Wilson came on in a non-save situation in the bottom half and got the final three outs to finish off the victory. "We dug a hole for ourselves again and the team tried to fight back, but 20 baserunners and only three runs adds up to a sad performance," griped Milwaukee skipper Ken Macha. "Were definitely in a rut. We have to hit better with guys in scoring position."

Appointment reflects nations increasing financial prowess Peoples?Bank of China Deputy Governor Zhu Min was named Thursday as special advisor to the International Monetary Funds (IMF) managing director, giving further impetus to Chinas lead role in reshaping the global financial order. Zhu Min, deputy governor at Peoples Bank of China, named Thursday as special advisor to the International Monetary Funds (IMF) managing director. Zhu, 57, who joined the central bank last year after more than a decade as a senior executive in Bank of China, is expected to take up his new position on May 3, the IMF said in a statement. Zhus participation will help the fund strengthen its understanding of Asia and the emerging markets, said Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the IMF. As special advisor, he will play an important role in working with me and my management team in meeting the challenges facing our global members, he said. Bigger role The appointment comes at a time when China and other emerging economies are seeking a bigger role in multilateral financial institutions, as their economies have become vital engines of the global economic growth. Officials and experts said Zhus designation, the highest ever IMF position attained by a Chinese official, will help give more voice to Asian and developing countries in the decision-making process of the fund. Zhus new post, following Justin Lins earlier appointment at the World Bank, marks the beginning of a general trend that China, with its rising economic prowess, will have a better hearing in the global economic arena, Yao Jian, a spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said Thursday. It is reasonablee and necessary for China to seek a change in the global financial architecture, so as to better reflect the changing global economic landscape, said Wang Zhimin, professor of international relations at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.

China holds only 3.7 percent of the IMF vote and is less influential than Germany, which has 5.9 percent, despite the fact that it has overtaken the European country as the third largest economy in the world. The emerging BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - account for 9.62 percent of the IMFs total voting rights and are seeking a reduction of the share of developed countries to 50 percent from the current 57 percent. Historic opportunity Pang Zhongying, professor of international relations at Renmin University of China, said Zhus appointment is a historic opportunity for the nation as it marks a significant step in forging closer relationships with multilateral financial institutions. However, Pang said the new role at the fund could also be a challenge for Zhu. He will inevitably face pressure and complaints from Western countries when promoting deeper reform at the fund, he said. ' ' '
