Pillar homers as Giants edge Rockies. MORE:
Kevin Pillar, right, is congratulated by third base coach Ron Woods , The Canadian Press
Samardzija and two relievers combined on a three-hitter, Pillar homered and the San Francisco Giants squeezed past the slumping Rockies 1-0 on Thursday night. The Rockies were shut out for the second time this season and have not held a lead since Chris Iannetta's 11th-inning homer on April 3 at Tampa Bay.
Samardzija allowed only one runner past first base and retired 10 of his final 11 batters. The right-hander won for the first time since April 20, 2018, when he pitched five scoreless innings to beat the Los Angeles Angels in his first start of the season. "In any well-pitched game the margin is really thin," Rockies manager Bud Black said."Samardzija pitched great and Jon pitched great. It comes down to a pitch or two."
