SAN FRANCISCO -- Dan Straily took a shutout into the ninth inning and Giancarlo Stanton got a 16-hit attack rolling with a two-run homer in the first inning, sending the Miami Marlins to a 6-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

Dee Gordon had four hits and J.T. Realmuto three, including a solo homer, as the Marlins evened their record at 4-4 on a 10-game trip.

The loss snapped the Giants' three-game home winning streak.

Straily (7-4) pitched into the ninth inning for the first time in 94 career starts, before surrendering a solo home run to Denard Span with one out that ended the shutout bid.

He was replaced at that point, having allowed one run on four hits. He struck out three and did not walk a batter en route to his third consecutive win.

Straily ran his career record against the Giants to 4-0, including 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in San Francisco.

Stanton gave Straily all the offensive support he would need with his first-inning blast off Giants left-hander Matt Moore (3-9).

The All-Star added a double in the fourth inning, coming within a couple of feet of scaling the 25-foot right field wall at AT&T Park for the second time in one game.

Only 40 balls hit by right-handers have cleared the wall in the 18-year history of the ballpark.

Stanton, Christian Yelich, Justin Bour and JT Riddle had two hits apiece for the Marlins, who will return home after the series to host the All-Star Game festivities beginning Monday.

Span's homer landed in the San Francisco Bay beyond the right field wall, his third career "Splash Hit" and the 74th in Giants history.

Joe Panik had two doubles for the Giants, who began a stretch of 21 of 29 at home.

The Marlins out-hit the Giants 16-5.

Moore was pulled after 3 1/3 innings, having allowed a career-high-tying 12 hits and five runs. He struck out one and did not walk a batter.

Stanton's homer, his 24th of the season, came on Moore's seventh pitch of the game. It followed a game-opening infield single by Gordon.

Moore got the next two Marlins out but then served up four consecutive singles, including a bases-loaded, two-run hit to Riddle that made it 4-0.

Bour's second hit, a two-out single in the second, plated Gordon for a 5-0 lead.

Realmuto made it 6-0 in the fifth with his eighth homer of the year, a solo shot off Cory Gearrin.

NOTES: Marlins RF Giancarlo Stanton's home run was the first over the right field wall at AT&T Park by a right-handed hitter since Giants INF/OF Kelby Tomlimson accomplished the feat in October of 2015. There has never been a "Splash Hit" by a right-handed batter in the history of AT&T Park. ... The career-high-tying 12 hits allowed by Giants LHP Matt Moore equaled the number he allowed to the Baltimore Orioles while pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays on June 9, 2013. ... Giants LF Austin Slater had to be removed from the game after apparently pulling a groin while running to first base in the eighth inning. ... Marlins LHP Chris O'Grady is slated to make his major league debut in the second game of the series Saturday night. He was promoted from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, taking the place on the active roster of RHP Edinson Volquez (tendinitis in left knee), who was placed on the 10-day disabled list. ... The Giants made two transactions before the game, promoting INF Miguel Gomez from Double-A Richmond and reinstating 3B Conor Gillaspie (back spasms) from the DL, while demoting RHP Chris Stratton to Triple-A Sacramento and placing 3B Ryder Jones (bruised right wrist) on the DL.
