The Giants batted around in the first inning and chased Yu Darvish after 1.2 IP after opening up a 10-1 lead.
SAN FRANCISCO — Something about Oracle Park doesn’t sit right for Yu Darvish.
Not to go overshadowed by the Giants’ offensive onslaught was Alex Cobb’s club debut, flashing the added velocity he advertised during the spring, while holding the Padres to two runs over five innings. One time through the rotation, the Giants’ starting five has combined to hold opponents to a 3.00 ERA while striking out 36 and walking seven over 24 innings.
This time, Mike Yastrzemski didn’t quite match La Stella’s leadoff blast, instead slapping a leadoff single to right field. But it didn’t take long for the Giants to go yard, as Brandon Belt placed the first pitch he saw from Darvish just over the left-center field wall to bring home Yastrzemski and give the Giants an early 2-0 lead.
