The Giants need to stop the bleeding pretty quickly or they’re going to be out of the race by the end of April. The Giants lost another series and they’ve now won just two of their first nine games.
Monday’s game was probably the most disappointing. Matt Cain gave up just a single run on one hit but the Giants were shutout on five hits. Bengie Molina had two of hits in the 1-0 loss.
The Giants then finally got their bats going on Tuesday and picked up a 6-5 win. Bengie Molina drove in two runs and Omar Vizquel and Rich Aurilia had two hits in a piece in the 6-5 win. Matt Morris picked up the win and he gave up two runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. He’s now a perfect 2-0.
Then yesterday, the Giants got shut out again. Dave Roberts had two of the Giants six hits and Noah Lowry had a mediocre start in his second straight loss. The final in this one was 4-0 and all four runs were given up by Lowry.
The Giants get a day off to travel to Pittsburgh for a three game series with the struggling Pirates. This could turn out to be an important series because if they can’t get it done against the Pirates, I’m not sure who they can get it done against.
