Manaea allowed six runs in that span, but just two were earned, while Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija picked up the win against his former team after allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits -- including Matt Joyce's two-run homer in the fifth -- across eight innings.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Giants capitalize: Gorkys Hernandez and Kelby Tomlinson staked the Giants to a quick 1-0 lead with back-to-back hits to christen the game. Then Belt stepped to the plate and sent a ground ball toward first baseman Yonder Alonso for what should have been the first out of the inning.
