Giants strike early, cruise to win over Braves

The Braves offense had plenty of opportunities to match the Giants' offensive production in the first two innings. But the batters went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and scored zero runs despite loading the bases with nobody out in the second. San Francisco fared much better against Joel De La Cruz, and the Braves rookie exited after allowing six runs (three earned) in four innings.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Another gem: Samardzija initially appeared to be missing the command that allowed him to take a no-hitter into the seventh inning of his last start.
