SAN FRANCISCO — Jeff Samardzija had to get through starts at Miller Park and Coors Field, and a Sunday night game against the Dodgers, before making his home debut. The wait was worth it.

Samardzija gave up one run in 7 2/3 innings and knocked in a career-high three runs, driving the Giants to an easy 8-1 win over the Miami Marlins. The victory snapped a five-game losing streak.

Coming off a sweep by the Diamondbacks, the Giants got off to a quick start.
