Righty Jeff Samardzija drives in 3 runs, wins home debut (Yahoo Sports)

Jeff Samardzija struck out five over 7 2-3 innings and drove in a career-high three runs with a double to win in a memorable home debut, and the San Francisco Giants snapped a five-game losing streak by beating Miami hitting coach Barry Bonds and the Marlins 8-1 on Friday night in the slugger's return to AT&T Park. Samardzija (2-1), who signed a $90 million, five-year contract, left to a standing ovation when he walked off in the eighth. Brandon Belt, Angel Pagan and Denard Span had RBI singles, while Matt Duffy had a sacrifice fly and Brandon Crawford drove in a run on a groundout for the Giants, who had gone 3 for 35 with runners in scoring position during their skid.
