The San Francisco Giants picked up a big win Thursday night as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 5-1. The Cardinals came into the game with a 7-2 record and playing some really good baseball but it was their first road game of the season and it showed.
The Giants bats put a lot of pressure on Adam Wainwright and Ron Villone during the game. The middle of the lineup did most of the damage for the Giants as Aaron Rowand, Randy Winn, Bengie Molina, Jose Castillo, and Rich Aurilia all had one RBI.
Kevin Correia picked up the win after pitching 7.2 innings and not allowing a run to cross the plate. He did give up five hits and two walks, but he struck out four batters. Brad Hennessey was the only Giants pitcher to allow a earned run on the night. Brian Wilson picked up his second save of the season in the game as well.
