NEW YORK-Jeff Samardzjia probably wishes that he could get a do over in his first ever start at Yankee Stadium.

Samardzjia lasted 5.2 innings, allowing five runs and eight hits, while walking one and striking out three; however two home runs balls to Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira were the big blows and the New York Yankees defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-2 before a crowd of 34,143 at Yankee Stadium.

“They made some good adjustment there on my slider, I had been going to it throwing for strikes and got some outs with it and they put a few swings on it with Castro and McCann and that was it and Didi just got a ball over the plate on a hitters count,” said Samardzija.

With the loss, the Giants end their three-city eight-game road trip to San Diego, Boston and New York with a record of 1-7.

This is the second time this season that the Giants have lost at least seven out of eight, as they went 1-8 from April 13-21.

It was a tough one for Samardzija, who was attempting to join staff mates Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto with double figures wins.

The last time the Giants achieved this accomplishment was during the 2012 season, when Matt Cain won 16, Madison Bumgarner also won 16, Barry Zito won 15, Ryan Vogelsong won 14 and Tim Lincecum won 10.

Beltran, who played for the Giants during the 2011 season after being traded to the Giants from the New York Mets for Zack Wheeler hit a solo home run off of Samardzija with two outs in the bottom of the first inning.

Just one inning later, in the bottom of the second inning and once again with two outs, Teixiera launched a solo home run into the Yankees bullpen.

Yankees starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, who went 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out six.

Angel Pagan went 3-for-5 with a single, double and a triple. This was the eighth time this season that Pagan picked up three hits in a game this season, and his sixth with multiple XBH. The six multiple XBH games ties his career high that was set in 2013.

Chad Green pitched the final 2.1 innings to pickup his first career save, and became the first Yankees rookie to save a game since Bryan Mitchell versus the Detroit Tigers on June 20, 2015.

The Yankees blew the game wide open in the bottom of the sixth inning, as they scored three runs after they were two outs in the inning.

Following a Jacoby Ellsbury double play that saw Brett Gardner retired after he singled Aaron Hicks to third. Hicks led off the inning with a single of his own, and then scored on the Ellsbury double play ball.

Beltran, Brian McCann and Starlin Castro each singled, with Beltran scoring the second run of the inning and the fourth run of the game for the Yankees. Didi Gregorius hit a ground-rule double to centerfield that scored McCann.

The Giants finally got to Eovaldi in the top of the seventh inning, as they scored two runs on a two-run single by Buster Posey.

Ramiro Pena led off the inning with a single, then after a strikeout of Denard Span for the first out of the inning, Angel Pagan doubled and then Brandon Belt walked to load the bases, and then Posey hit an opposite field single down the right field line to score Pena and Pagan; however Brandon Crawford was unable to tie it up, as grounded out to Teixeira to end the threat.

That was the third time in the game that the Giants were unable to score with runners on base.

In the top of the second inning , they were able to get two runners on base with two outs; however Pena grounded out to Castro to end the inning.

Two innings later, they loaded the bases with one out, but Mac Williamson popped out to first base and then Pena for the second time in as many at-bats grounded out to Castro to end the threat.

Just one inning after they scored their only two runs of the game, the Giants saw another rally put to a halt, as Williamson singled with one out; however Pena was once again snakebitten, as he hit a ball behind a diving Teixeira at first base and Castro made a diving stop on the ball and pitcher Chad Green covered at first base to get the diving Pena.

Green got up and threw to Chase Headley, who tagged out Williamson, who was trying to get to third base to complete the double play.

“Play according to the scoreboard, plays all out, love his energy, his enthusiasm, just can’t get thrown out there three runs down with two outs. He might have thought the ball went through,” said Bruce Bochy.

George Kontos pitched the final 2.1 for the Giants, and the former Yankees reliever retired all seven batters he faced. He lowered his earned run average on the road down to 1.27 (21.1 IP, 3 ER) in 22 road appearances during the 2016 season.

NOTES: With the two hits in the game, this was the first multi-hit game of Williamson’s career and on the road trip, he hit .444 (8-for-18).

Posey broke out of a 2-for-17 slump, as he picked up two hits in four at-bats and all drove in two runs.

The Giants batting average with the designated hitter is .469, as they have gone 15-for-32.

Since the All-Star break, the Giants are 9-for-72 with runners in scoring position, an average of .125 and over their last 13 games, they are 16-for-122, an average of .131.

The Giants now return to begin a seven-game home stand, three with the Cincinnati Reds and then four with the Washington Nationals.

Probables for the Reds series.

Monday: Jake Peavy versus Anthony DeSclafani
Tuesday: Matt Cain versus Cody Reed
Wednesday: Madison Bumgarner versus Dan Straily
