The San Francisco Giants struggled against the Arizona Diamondbacks and their starting pitcher Brandon Webb on Wednesday afternoon. The Giants were only able to manage one run in the game and only three total hits as they lost 4-1 You can’t win the ball game in most cases with one run and only three hits.
Eugenio Velez was the only Giants player to record an RBI in the game. Velez doubled to left-center in the fourth inning to score Fred Lewis. Other then that double, the Giants bats were silent as Webb dominated them for eight inning and then Brandon Lyon closed the door in the ninth inning.
As for the Giants pitching, Barry Zito took the loss which dropped his record to 0-4 on the season. Zito didn’t have good command of the ball as he walked five batters, gave up five hits, and let five runs cross the plate. Only four of the five runs were earned, not like it mattered anyways.
Vinnie Chulk and Merkin Valdez pitched the final three innings and did a good job. Maybe the bullpen should have been called on earlier in the ballgame with Zito struggling so much. What do you think Giants fans?
