Nothing like a last to first push with a nice eight game winning streak. The Giants kept it going though despite being on the road against their arch-rivals. And it wasn’t anything special though. The Giants got just enough pitching and just enough hitting to hold back the Dodgers.
On Tuesday, Matt Morris improved to 3-0 with 7 1/3 solid innings. He gave up three runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts. Dave Roberts was the hitting star at the plate and he went two for five with a homerun and two runs. Bengie Molina went three for four and Randy Winn finished with two hits and two RBIs in the 5-3 win.
On Wednesday, Barry Bonds inched closer to making history with his seventh homerun of the season. He drove in three runs and Pedro Feliz helped out with a solo shot in the 6-4 win. And Noah Lowry wasn’t great, but he was good enough to pick up the win. He gave up four runs on seven hits and five walks with four strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
Yesterday was more of the same. Ray Durham and Molina each drove in two runs in the game and Omar Vizquel scored twice in the 5-4 win. Russ Ortiz gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings and Kevin Correia picked up the win with 1 1/3 shutout innings.
Now the Giants lead the pack and they head to Arizona for three games with Diamondbacks. Barry Zito gets the start today and hopefully he can keep up his current solid stretch.
