SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants finally sustained some legitimate offense. All it took was a little impartial assistance from the umpires.A seven-run rally in the seventh inning Wednesday, abetted by an overturned call following a video review, propelled San Francisco to a 7-1 Interleague victory over the Chicago White Sox, ending the Giants' five-game losing streak. 
White Sox starter Jose Quintana blanked the Giants on two hits through six innings before their big break came.With runners on the corners and one out, Joe Panik tapped a grounder to first baseman Jose Abreu, who quickly threw home. Pinch-runner Gregor Blanco was plainly thrown out. But Giants manager Bruce Bochy requested the umpire's review, citing the anti-collision rules instituted this year and maintaining that catcher Tyler Flowers denied Blanco a sufficiently clear path to the plate while awaiting Abreu's throw. Analysis of video replays backed Bochy's opinion. Blanco's run counted, tying the score, 1-1.Capitalizing on the overturned call, the Giants proceeded to add six more runs. Their seven runs in the inning exceeded their total of six for their previous three games. Angel Pagan contributed a two-run single, Hunter Pence and Buster Posey added RBI singles and right fielder Adam Dunn's three-base error on Pablo Sandoval's fly ball chased two runs across.The uprising gave Jake Peavy his first victory for the Giants since they acquired him from Boston. Peavy worked seven innings, yielding one run on Dunn's homer into McCovey Cove and four hits.Chris Haft / MLB.com
