his Toronto Blue Jays highlights didn’t convince the home fans of Kevin Pillar’s value http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , he wasted no time in adding a reminder.Making his first appearance against the team that traded him away on April 2, the San Francisco center fielder opened the scoring in the second inning, hitting an RBI single to left field in the Giants‘ 7-6 victory on Tuesday night.“I’m a hopeless romantic,” Pillar said. “I was hoping for the stars lining up for a second and to get the opportunity to come up there with runners in scoring position in a tie game and you come up with a big hit.”Pablo Sandoval went 3-for-4 and homered for the first time this year, one of a season-high four home runs for offensively challenged San Francisco.Joe Panik homered and drove in three runs, and Evan Longoria and Brandon Belt also went deep for the Giants, who came in 29th in the majors in batting and ahead of just one team in home runs. It was San Francisco’s first four-homer game since July 4, 2018, against Arizona.“It’s got to do a lot for their confidence,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “It starts to weigh on you a little bit when you haven’t hit a home run.”Rowdy Tellez hit his first career grand slam for the Blue Jays, whose four-game winning streak was snapped.Jeff Samardzija (2-1) allowed two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings, improving to 3-0 in four starts against the Blue Jays. He allowed five hits, walked one and struck out four. Will Smith worked a perfect ninth for his sixth save.Samardzija said the Giants were happy to see the attention Pillar got upon his return to Rogers Centre.“He should be a rock star,” he said of Pillar. “Guys like that should be pushed more by this league, guys that play hard.”The Blue Jays trailed 7-2 before Tellez’s one-out Dave Dravecky Jersey , bases-loaded bash in the eighth off Tony Watson, who stayed on and finished the inning. It was also Tellez’s first career homer off a lefty.“Mentally it’s nice to have a good at-bat against a tough lefty out of the bullpen,” he said.Trent Thornton (0-3) lasted five innings in his fifth major league start, giving up four earned runs on six hits and striking out five.“You know what I like about this team? We don’t quit,” Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. “You never see me smile after a loss but man, this is pretty cool. That’s what I was thinking on the bench.”Belt’s home run off Thomas Pannone, which hit the facade of the third deck in right field, was his fifth of the season, and it ended a run of 15 hitless at-bats against left-handed pitching.Panik’s solo shot in the fifth inning was his first of the year, and he doubled in two runs in the third. Sandoval slugged one over the center-field fence in the eighth.Samardzija had retired 10 straight batters before Eric Sogard took him deep to lead off the sixth. He was pulled with two runners on after throwing 85 pitches, and Mark Melancon worked out of the jam.FIRST-INNING FAMINEThe Giants extended their streak of first innings without scoring a run to begin a season to 24 games on Tuesday, the second-longest such spell in major league history behind the 28 put up by the 1948 Chicago White Sox. Gerardo Parra was thrown out trying to steal home to end the inning.TRAINER’S ROOMBlue Jays: The team announced Tuesday that top prospect Bo Bichette broke a bone in his left hand after being hit by a pitch while batting for Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Only he didn’t feel that way.He didn’t like the way the ball was coming out of his hand http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , even though he wasn’t letting anyone on base.“Around the third inning, the feel started coming around,” Hill said. “The big thing was getting ahead and throwing strikes.”Hill allowed two hits over six shutout innings, Chris Taylor, Justin Turner and Max Muncy homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the San Diego Padres 11-1 on Friday night to snap a three-game skid.Hill (6-4) retired his first 12 batters, seven of them on strikeouts, before Hunter Renfroe doubled leading off the fifth.“There were a few pitches I left out there,” Hill said. “Everything needs to be tightened up as we move to September.”Hill added another strikeout and had one walk on 90 pitches in his first win since Aug. 7 at Oakland. The only other hit the veteran left-hander gave up was a triple to Freddy Galvis in the sixth.“It’s discouraging when you go into a game with a game plan and we swing at fast balls up and out of the zone,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “You’re just not going to get Rich Hill that way. It’s going to take discipline.”The last-place Padres proved the antidote that the slumping Dodgers needed after scoring just six runs while getting swept in three games by St. Louis. Los Angeles had lost nine of its last 12 and 10 of 14, but the victory brought them back to .500 at home (33-33).“Just kind of getting that monkey off our back was big for us and hopefully we can settle down and relax,” Turner said. “Offense is contagious. When it goes good early, it goes really good. When there’s opportunities lost early in the game it builds up anxiety.”The Dodgers pounded out 13 hits and scored in each of the first five innings. Taylor homered on his first pitch from Clayton Richard (7-11) in the third. Turner added a two-run shot on Richard’s first pitch to him in the fourth, extending the lead to 7-0.Richard gave up seven runs — six earned — and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.“It’s extremely disappointing to put your team in the hole like that. I have no excuse,” Richard said. “It stinks to have an outing like that.” Pinch-hitter Muncy slugged his team-high 29th homer Brandon Belt Jersey , a two-run shot that made it 11-0, in the seventh. The Dodgers have an NL West-leading 179 homers this season.The Dodgers scored four runs in the second on Cody Bellinger’s RBI single, Brian Dozier’s RBI double down the third-base line and Turner’s RBI single.Bellinger’s RBI double and Hill’s RBI single extended the lead to 9-0 in the fifth.The Dodgers’ bullpen completed the four-hitter. Yimi Garcia gave up two hits and allowed the Padres’ lone run on Galvis’ RBI double in the eighth.The Padres have lost nine of 11 and fell to 4-10 against their NL West rivals this season.TRAINER’S ROOMPadres: 3B Wil Myers returned to the lineup, going 0 for 4. He had just one at-bat in the last two games after he was hit in the face by a groundball in batting practice Wednesday. “I felt good,” he said. “No problems with anything.”Dodgers: RHP Daniel Hudson (right forearm tightness) went on the disabled list. … RHP Ross Stripling had his scheduled throwing session pushed back to Saturday, when he will face hitters for one or two innings. … RHP Garcia was reinstated from the DL after missing 43 games with right forearm inflammation.AT HOME ON THE ROADGalvis has hit safely in his last nine games at Dodger Stadium dating to Aug. 9, 2016.
