Different day, same result

By Jeremy Kahn

SAN FRANCISCO-Paul Goldschmidt is a terror against the San Francisco Giants, and his two-run home run in the first inning showed why.

Goldschmidt hit a two-run hone run off of Tim Hudson in the top of the first inning, as the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Giants 5-1 before a cried of 41,528, the 334th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.

Since his major league debut on August 1, 2011, Goldschmidt leads all players with 12 home runs, 32 extra base hits, 45 runs batted in and 46 walks in that span.

Rookie Yasmani Tomas picked up his first major league hit in the top of the ninth inning against Jeremy Affeldt.

Tim Hudson saw his record fall to 0-2 on the season, as he went five innings, allowing five runs on six hits, walking two and striking out six.

Brandon Crawford went 2-for-2 with a walk for the Giants, who have lost nine out of their last 10 games, including six of seven on this homestand.

Nori Aoki went 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and a triple, and also scored the lone Giants run on the afternoon, when he scored on a Joe Panik single in the bottom of the first inning.

Since moving to San Francisco in 1958, this is the fifth time during that time that the Giants have started the season with 4-10record.

The Giants also started 4-10 in 1980, 1983, 1985 and 2000.

NOTES: After their first off day of the 2015 season, the Giants return to AT&T Park on Tuesday night when Tim Lincecum takes the mound against Brett Anderson and the Los Angeles Dosgersm
