Giants and Marlins Score Early, Often

Eighteen runs were scored in the first two innings. Dontrelle Willis melted down in front of his family. Barry Bonds drew yet another bases-loaded walk.

And this crazy night still belonged to a 30-year-old rookie whose first major league hit was simply grand.

Brian Dallimore’s grand slam highlighted San Francisco’s rally from an early seven-run deficit, and Bonds forced in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning of the Giants’ 12-9 home victory Friday over the Florida Marlins.

Jeffrey Hammonds also homered and Pedro Feliz drove in three runs during San Francisco’s best offensive performance of the season. Marquis Grissom had four hits and Edgardo Alfonzo drove in two runs as the Giants pounded out 16 hits.

But Dallimore stole the show in his first major league start, reaching base five times and scoring three runs. He also got two singles, drew a walk and was hit by a pitch.

Dallimore was recalled by the Giants on Wednesday after more than eight seasons in the minors. His parents attended Friday’s game, and they joined the crowd in wild cheers as Dallimore pumped his fist while rounding the bases after his second-inning slam.

Hee Seop Choi hit a three-run homer into San Francisco Bay for Florida, and Mike Redmond had a three-run double in the first thanks to Hammonds’ defensive mistake.

Willis doubled and scored to raise his batting average to .583 (seven for 12), but he couldn’t hold a seven-run lead, or even get an out, in the second inning. The Alameda native was 3-0 with an 0.71 ERA this season before appearing in front of his mother and other relatives, but he left with visible frustration after Dallimore’s slam landed in the left-field stands.

After giving up only two earned runs in his first four starts this season, Willis’ ERA leaped to 2.73 Friday after he gave up five hits, three walks and six earned runs.

San Francisco added three runs in the fifth against Nate Bump (0-2) and Matt Perisho. After Bonds walked, Alfonzo and Feliz both drove in runs.

Tyler Walker (1-0) pitched three scoreless relief innings to earn his first victory with San Francisco. Matt Herges pitched the ninth for his eighth save in nine chances.

Florida scored four times in the first inning against right-hander Kevin Correia, who gave up eight earned runs, six hits and three walks in his first start of the season.
