It don't really matter. That would take a lot of time. And we know about all the transactions. So I think it would take extra effort, just keep us up to date with your Tranasctions. Good Luck.

Solid Pitching Leads Giants To Sweep Over Metropolitans

Coming off a walkoff win, the Giants looked to carry their good fortunes over to game two of their series with the Mets. Pitching for the Giants was Matt Morris, facing off against future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine. The Giants were able to get four runs on seven hits off Glavine, who lasted five innings. Met reliever John Maine allowed three runs of his own, giving Morris more than enough support as he went 6.2 innings, allowing just one run on five hits. Jeremy Accardo would finish the game, giving up no runs on four hits, and assuring the Giants of a series win.

Game three saw the Giants going for a sweep, with Noah Lowry (2-0) looking to remain undefeated. The Mets sent out Pedro Martinez to prevent the sweep. Martinez was effective, allowing three runs on five hits over seven innings. Lowry gave up just one however, going 7.1 innings, with eight hits surrendered. Tim Worrell and Armando Benitez pitched the final 1.2 innings to preserve Lowry's victory, with Benitez getting his fifth save of the season.

Schmidt Loses Rematch As Giants Fail To Sweep

Giants rookie pitcher Matt Cain has pitched well so far this year. In game two, he would face off against Miguel Batista in an effort to continue his good fortunes.

Batista struggled, allowing five runs on five hits (two homeruns) in five innings pitched. That was enough support for Cain who went seven, allowing three runs on eleven hits. Tim Worrell and Armando Benitez pitched the eighth and ninth respectively, allowing no runs with Benitez getting his sixth save of the season.

With a sweep on the line, the Giants sent out ace Jason Schmidt to face off against Enrique Gonzalez. Schmidt defeated Gonzalez in their last matchup in Arizona, but Gonzalez would prove better on this day, going six innings, allowing one run on five hits. Schmidt lasted five, giving up four runs (two earned) on nine hits. Garrett Mock pitched the last three innings for Arizona to get his first save of the year.
