Rodón shines in debut, Giants still fall to Marlins 2-1

The San Francisco Giants lost to the Miami Marlins today, 2-1 in the second game of their opening series.

After an electric win to kick off the season, bats were quiet at Oracle Park. Pitching was the star of the show and Carlos Rodón absolutely shined in his Giants debut. Rodón struck out 12, tying Juan Marichal for the second most strikeouts in a debut start since the team moved to San Francisco.
