SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' outfield of Jarrett Parker, Denard Span and Hunter Pence combined to generate most of the club's offense Thursday night in a 5-4 victory over the Phillies that opened a four-game series.
Parker provided the biggest hit among the trio, a two-run double that fueled a three-run, fifth-inning uprising. Pence scored twice, and Span singled and scored in the fifth. That was the final inning for Phillies starter Aaron Nola (9-8), who allowed seven hits and all of San Francisco's runs.
Giants starter Jeff Samardzija (8-12) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings.
