Jeff Samardzija pitched well as the San Francisco Giants’ offense erupted for nine runs to beat the Colorado Rockies 9-2 in San Francisco.
It didn’t take long for the Giants to respond on the field to reports of the problems happening off the field. Denard Span started the bottom half of the first by singling, but was later thrown out trying to steal second. Hunter Pence then singled on a groundball that third baseman Nolan Arenado couldn’t handle completely. He later scored on Buster Posey’s double off the base of the wall between center and left field.
