Neither starter was involved in the decision but both were effective. San Francisco's Jeff Samardzija allowed three runs (two earned) in seven innings. San Diego's Luis Perdomo surrendered three runs (one earned) and six hits in six innings.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Seizing opportunity: Scoring runs has been a problem for the Giants, so it was significant when they pushed across a couple of first-inning runs on shortstop Erick Aybar's two-out error. Arroyo hit the two-hopper that Aybar muffed, proving that good things happen when the ball's put in play.
