GIANTS: Samardzija to face Brewers today

accomplishing the feat on July 20, 2011, at the Chicago Cubs.

“It’s pretty cool,” Galvis said. “It’s much better to win the game.”

Pat Neshek (1-1) tossed a scoreless inning for the win. Hector Neris finished for his fifth save in six tries.

Herrera was 3 for 4 with two doubles, a homer and three RBIs. Galvis drove in three runs, and the Phillies scored their most runs since a 10-9 loss to Seattle on May 9.

“Everybody has been frustrated. It was good to see the guys bust out,” manager Pete Mackanin said.

After Nunez homered in the first, the Phillies went up 2-1 in the bottom half on consecutive RBI doubles by Herrera and Howie Kendrick.

Galvis made it 4-1 in the second with a two-run drive for his first homer since May 1.

“We better execute a little bit better than what we did here today,” Bochy said. “Disappointing coming in here and winning the first game and we can’t get at least the series.”
