A pitcher and hitter named Yovani Gallardo spoiled the Giants attempt to become the first team to ever go 162-0, as his Milwaukee Brewers downed the Giants 4-2 in Wednesday's contest. Gallardo smacked a 3 run homer in the fifth, which turned out to be the difference in the game...Randy Johnson's debut as a Giant didn't go as planned, as he left after 5 innings trailing 4-1. He did however strike out 7 in his debut, with most of his pitches registering in the low 90's, not bad for a 45 year old man...Mike Cameron, the man who replaced Ken Griffey in Seattle a number of years ago, had a solo shot for the Brew Crew's other run...The Giants again played steady defense, with just one error in two games. (When they went to the series in 2002, they did not commit and error for 16 games.)...Bobby Howry and Alex Hinshaw also threw this evening...Milwaukee returns for a 4:05 game tomorrow. Matt Cain starts...Tim Lincecum received his Cy Young Award tonight, presented by the only other Giant to win the coveted pitching award, Mike McCormick. He was 22-10 on the year, with an ERA of 2.85, practically unheard of any more. (Anything around 3.00 is considered good.) Good readin', good rootin' and see ya at the ballpark. April 8, 2009
