August 28, 2017 (San Diego) - After an embarrassing sweep by the Marlins in a series the Padres should have won, they came back home to face the equally dismal Giants in a series they should definitely win. Jeff Samardzija started for the Giants against Jhoulys Chacin in tonight’s game one.
Two bottom-of-the-barrel teams facing each other is like Dumb & Dumber facing each other, but ironically, the Giants, who are last in the division, got the upper hand in the fourth with Brandon Crawford’s solo homer that gave San Fran a 1-0 lead.
It stayed like that for a while until Joe Panik added on in the eighth with a two-run homer and the Giants beat down the Padres with three runs to win game one 3-0.
Game two is tomorrow at 7:10 p.m. Matt Moore starts for the Giants against Luis Perdomo.
