SAN FRANCISCO — Griffin Conine hit his first career home run and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3. 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 connected off Giants starter Mason Black to give Miami a 2-0 lead. The Giants dropped below .500 and remained 6 1/2 games out of a National League playoff spot, with four teams to climb over. Michael Conforto homered in the eighth for the Giants to cut the deficit to 4-3, but Calvin Faucher retired the side in order in the ninth for his fifth save. Connor Norby also homered for Miami.
