MILWAUKEE — Early on, it looked like Jeff Samardzija was headed for yet another rocky night at Miller Park.
The Giants pitcher steadied himself quickly enough, though, and pitched San Francisco to a 7-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.
The right-hander entered 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA in Milwaukee, but rebounded with a gem to get the win Monday. Samardzija allowed two runs in the first before dominating over 7 2/3 innings, retiring 19 consecutive batters in one stretch.
"For a big guy known as a power-type pitcher, he has remarkable command," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
