Giants leave Pennsylvania behind---Good!
Giants 1-6 in Pennsylvania: In the just completed games in Pennsylvania, three each with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the team went 1-6, which drops their record to 14-22, a winning percentage of just .389. Only Colorado and San Diego are in worse shape in the National League West. Arizona seems bent on running away with it, but they have played less than 30 games...Matt Cain pitched into the 7th. He was relieved by Jack Taschner, who had retired all of the 18 inherited runners this year. He couldn't quite get that 19th runner, which proved to be the game winner...Silver lining though: Both Emmanuel Burris (1) and catcher Steve Holm (2) had their first major league run batted in (RBI.) Congrats to them...Matt Cain had two hits, a singe and a double...Nate McClouth took away two potential hits that would have knocked in at least two more...Aaron Rowand had one catch in deep center when he hit the fence, albeit not as hard as he did last year when he broke the orbit around his eye...Freddie Lewis in his first slump of the year, but remember Giants fans, that Willie Mays went 0-21 until his first hit, a home-run...Giants home to the same Phillies this weekend. Hope they can do better! May 8th, 2008.
