sfgiantsflgators Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 April 23, 2008 Zito Suffers First Loss as Giants Fall 5-3 Frandsen hits fifth home run of the season in defeat Barry Zito struggled with his command tonight, walking six batters over the course of seven innings as the Giants fell 5-3 to the Dodgers. Three of those six walks came in the Dodgers three-run fourth inning when Zito walked the bases loaded with no outs. Andy LaRoche drove in the first run with an infield single and Tony Abreu plated the next two with a solid hit to center. The Giants couldn't muster enough offense off Brad Penny to retaliate, scoring just one run through the first seven innings before plating one each in the eighth and ninth innings. Penny allowed just three runs on nine hits while striking out seven over eight and one-thirds innings. Jonathan Broxton got the last two outs of the contest for his seventh save.

With boos coming from all angles, the former Giants ace allowed just two runs on four hits in six and one-thirds innings as the Dodgers offense opened up for 12 runs in a decisive victory. Giants starter Kevin Correia got the first two batters he faced - and was then ejected after hitting Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp with successive pitches. Jesse Foppert entered in relief and surrendered eight runs on nine hits in four and two-thirds innings. Kemp went two-for-three with a home run while driving in five to pace the Bums. Loney, Choo Freeman and Schmidt all drove in two each. Kevin Frandsen hit his sixth home run of the season for the Giants.

Pat Misch watches the only run he allowed tonight, a solo shot from Orlando Hudson in the sixth inning. Apparently getting bored with strikeouts, Scherzer hit pinch-hitter Eugenio Velez in the sixth inning. Bengie Molina ended the contest as Scherzer's 12th strikeout victim.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 April 26, 2008 Giants Score Six in Final Two Innings, Win 9-5 Frandsen, Wood drive in three a piece in victory San Francisco used a late offensive outburst to ensure a victory for Matt Cain tonight, scoring a com- bined six runs in the seventh and eighth innings before holding on for a 9-5 win. Cain pitched brilliantly for San Francisco, allowing just one run on eight hits over eight innings. But Tyler Walker got just one out and allowed three runs before leaving in the ninth, putting the Diamond- backs back in the contest. Brad Hennessey and Brian Wilson combined to get the last two outs of the game, ending Arizona's late threat. Randy Walter picked up his first career hit with a pinch-hit single in the eighth. He later scored, along with Omar Vizquel, on a single from Brandon Wood. Scoring T1: Jackson single scores Hudson B3: Vizquel double scores Cain, Lewis; Wood single scores Vizquel B7: Molina single scores Vizquel; Frandsen three-run HR B8: Wood single scores Walker, Vizquel T9: Closser single scores Hudson; Tracy three-run HR W – Cain (2-1) L – Owings (1-2) Player of the Game: Brandon Wood 3-5, 3 RBI April 26, 2008 Boxscore April 27, 2008 Bullpen Struggles Continue as Giants Fall 12-5 Arizona scores four runs in both the seventh and eighth innings Both Brandon Webb and Tim Lincecum were average today, bringing the play of each bullpen into play as the deciding factor in the game. Edgar Gonzalez threw four innings in relief of Webb, allowing just one run on three hits in that span. The Giants bullpen, a combination of four pitchers, combined to allow seven runs on seven hits in three innings. The biggest blow to the Giants chances came in the seventh inning when Arizona loaded the bases for Orlando Hudson. Randy Messenger came in to face the Diamondbacks second baseman and, on a 2-1 pitch, surrendered a grand slam to give Arizona a 7-4 lead. The Diamondbacks scored four more off Scott Munter and Tyler Walker in the eighth - three coming off Munter - to pull away in a 12-5 victory.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Carmona to Have Surgery, Out for Season CLEVELAND, Ind. - The Cleveland Indians announced today that Fausto Carmona will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on a torn right shoulder muscle earlier this morning. Carmona, 24, combines with C.C. Sabathia to make one of the best 1-2 punches in the major leagues. However, Carmona experienced hard luck last season, going 6-10 with a 4.30 ERA. In a controversial move last season, the Indians rode Carmona for 203 innings, by far the most he had thrown in a season since being signed out of the Domincan Republic in 2000. He was 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA in 39 innings so far this season while averaging 8.31 strikeouts per nine innings. He was averaging just 2.77 walks per nine. The Indians were not available for comment.
