Pablo Sandoval had a feeling back in spring training that the San Francisco Giants could have high-output offensive nights like this.

It certainly helped ease any nerves rookie Ryan Sadowski may have had in his home debut.

Sandoval hit a two-run homer and an RBI triple to boost his bid for an All-Star spot and stake Sadowski to a quick cushion, and the Giants routed the Houston Astros 13-0 on Friday night.
