SAN FRANCISCO—Griffin Conine hit his first career home run and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 4–3 on Saturday night.

Conine, the son of longtime Marlins stalwart Jeff Conine, made his major league debut Monday and got his first hit Tuesday. His first homer was a two-run shot off the right-field foul pole in the second inning, when he ripped a fastball up in the zone from Giants starter Mason Black to give Miami a 2–0 lead.
