Samardzija, who was coming off an injury during Spring Training, pitched five shutout innings for his first start of the season. His first strikeout of the season was against Mike Trout and he ended his day with only two hits allowed and four strikeouts. He did walk four, including two in the fifth inning. He avoided the big hit and left two runners stranded as Justin Upton popped out to keep the game scoreless at the time, and the San Francisco Giants in position to win.
In the top half of that same inning, Williamson started a six run rally with a opposite field home run.
