SAN FRANCISCO -- Having been away from AT&T Park for so long, the Giants struggled to follow the script for winning there.
Back at home after a 10-game trip, the Giants took a two-run lead into the ninth inning of Monday night's series opener against the Miami Marlins. Then a three-run uprising against Giants closer Hunter Strickland reversed matters and gave the Marlins a 5-4 victory.
Brian Anderson drew a leadoff walk to begin the rally against Strickland, who was summoned to preserve a 4-2 lead.
