He was just very, very good under the circumstances.Solarte had an RBI single in the fourth and drove in another run in the fifth with a grounder.Hunter Pence had two hits for the Giants.SHARK BITTENSamardzija allowed four runs over six innings, struck out six and walked one. Not a terrible outing but one that quickly went south when Sanchez homered. It was only the second home run allowed by Samardzija in his last seven starts The two-run homer put a sour taste in my mouth with the way things were, Samardzija said. I left a splitter a little bit up in the zone and (Sanchez) was able to put a barrel on the ball.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: Green said RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation) hasnt progressed as quickly as the team had hoped and isnt likely to pitch again this season.
