Giants 4, Marlins 1: Pablo Sandoval ended a 29-game homer drought with a solo shot and Ryan Vogelsong fired seven scoreless innings as San Francisco split a four-game series at home against Miami.

Buster Posey, Tyler Colvin and Brandon Hicks all drove in a run as the Giants defeated the Marlins for only the third time in their last 15 home meetings. Vogelsong (2-2) yielded five singles and a walk while striking out six to improve to 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA in four May starts and two relievers bridged the gap to Sergio Romo, who worked a one-out single in the ninth inning for his 15th save.

Turner (0-2) matched a career high with seven strikeouts, but fell to 0-11 lifetime in 18 career road outings after giving up four runs on six hits over six frames. Adeiny Hechavarria scored Miami’s only run and joined Casey McGehee and Jeff Mathis with two hits apiece as the Marlins fell to 6-17 away from home.

Turner got off to a rocky start in the opening frame when Gregor Blanco was hit with a pitch, stole second and eventually scored two batters later on Posey’s sacrifice fly to the warning track in center. Sandoval and Michael Morse followed with singles and each came around to cap San Francisco’s three-run first inning on run-scoring singles by Colvin and Hicks, respectively.

Vogelsong stranded two runners in three of the next five innings and Sandoval widened the gap when he drove the first pitch he saw from Turner in the fifth into the stands in left-center. Reliever Jeremy Affeldt took over for Vogelsong to begin the eighth and promptly surrendered hits to each of the first two batters he faced before Christian Yelich ended the shutout bid with an RBI groundout.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Since joining the Giants in 2011, Vogelsong has allowed one earned run or less in each of his three home starts against the Marlins. … Turner is winless over his last 17 starts, dating back to a victory over the Atlanta Braves on July 10, 2013. … San Francisco RF Hunter Pence singled in four at-bats and is 12-for-27 during a six-game hitting streak.
