The great vibes from that Dodgers series didnt make it through the first night back house. Jeff Samardzija got roughed up in his very first start of the lineup and the year fell to 0-3 versus right-handed beginners as the Giants lost 5-3 to the Padres..
It was a quiet home opener for the Giants. Here are three things to learn about it ….
Fernando Tatis Jr. struck this pitch into the arcade, which informs you a lot about Fernando Tatis Jr., and likewise perhaps about this ballpark with all the gates closed. pic.twitter.com/I7uYYYh1bG— Alex Pavlovic (@PavlovicNBCS) July 29, 2020.
The Giants put the leadoff runner on in the eighth, however Pablo Sandoval started out and Wilmer Flores struck into a double play. In the bottom of the ninth, old friend Drew Pomeranz began for the Padres and set out the side..
Wil Myers has actually done that over the last few years, and he ended up being the first gamer to homer into the brand-new bullpens. The homer was the ninth for Myers at Oracle Park in the last 4 seasons, the most among going to players and simply two behind Kevin Pillar for the most among any player..

Joe McCarthy was 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in Los Angeles, however he was back in there Tuesday versus right-hander Kyle Davies.

Sluggish start.

Jimenez pitched a 1-2-3 inning, although it wasnt smooth cruising. He tossed a lot more strikes but still missed his spots, and Austin Hedges took him to the caution track for the last out. Still, this was a step in the best instructions. Expect the Giants to get him out there a couple more times over the next week as they continue the examination process..
