Jeff Samardzija and the SF Giants didn’t have a great Opening Day on Tuesday.
Opening Day at Oracle Park may have been a cause for celebration, but for Jeff Samardzija and the San Francisco Giants, it’s a game probably best forgotten.
The right-hander gave up five runs on four hits and a walk, making it only through just four innings before giving up the ball to manager Gabe Kapler.
He threw 44 strikes in 75 pitches, recording just one strikeout.
