The San Francisco Giants picked up the 8-2 win against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday putting them at 8-11 for the year. The Giants have a lot of work to do to get back in the top standings but this win giving them the series win in St. Louis was a good start.
Jonathan Sanchez is now 1-1 after pitching five innings in the win against the Cardinals on Sunday. He allowed only two hits and no runs during his time on the mound. Keiichi Yabu, Merkin Valdez, and Vinnie Chulk were brought in to close out the night and seal the win over St. Louis.
John Bowker hit in his third home run of the season. Bengie Molina led the Giants with three RBI, Aaron Rowand and Bowker both had two RBI, while Ray Durham had one RBI.
The San Francisco Giants head to Arizona to take on the Diamondbacks on the road on Monday night. A big win there would really help their season out a lot. Picking up divisional wins is key, and the Giants still have time to get back into contention in the division. Do I think they will do it? Nope…
