Jeff Samardzija came out firing strikes. He quickly got Carpenter to fly out to the track in CF, and then battled Pham to a full count and got him to ground out to SS, before getting Martinez to line out to LF on 2 pitches. Shark threw 11 pitches in all.
Carlos matched his counterpart’s scoreless frame, though his battery-mate made it interesting. Right off the bat, Francisco Pena, making the start in place of the banged up Yadier Molina, lost Gorkys Hernandez’s pop up in foul territory.
