For about 20 minutes, the Giants were in absolute control of this game. They jumped out to an early lead with an unprecedented first-inning rally. The Giants kept the line moving with some well-placed grounders and by drawing a few walks. Evan Longoria had himself a nice at-bat when he went from 2-2 to getting himself a free pass. Pablo Sandoval scorched a ground ball that Jonathan Villar couldn’t come up with. Steven Duggar finished a nice appearance with a shot through the five and six hole to plate the final two runs of the inning.
Giants waste a five-run first, lose 9-6
