You have got to feel bad for the San Francisco Giants right now as they just lost a 1-0 game to the Colorado Rockies in Denver.  The Giants pitching staff did a great job, there was just no run support once again and the Giants ended up losing once again.

Tim Lincecum pitched seven innings and gave up six hits but no runs.  It’s too bad he came out of the game after seven innings the way he was throwing the ball.  Lincecum struckout nine Rockies batters and walked three through his seven innings of action.

Tyler Walker pitched a scoreless eighth inning but in the ninth inning, Keiichi Yabu gave up two walks and one hit.  With the bases loaded the Giants brought in Jack Taschner who recorded one out but then had a sacrafice fly hit off of him to end the game.  The run was charged to Yabu who took the loss and dropped to 2-3 on the season.

As for the Giants offense, they only had six hits on the game.  The offense left 17 runners on base while only take two walks and striking out six times.  Very bad game for the Giants at the plate and it really sucks because the pitchers did a good job and kept them in the game.

The San Francisco Giants were able to hold off the Washington Nationals on Monday night to pick up a 3-2 victory over the Nationals.  Matt Cain improved to 3-4 on the season as he pitched  6 1/3 innings to pick up the win.

Randy Winn led the Giants at the plate with two rbi.  He had a rbi double in the first inning and than a rbi single in the fifth inning.  Bengie Molina had the other rbi for the Giants which came in the fifth inning when he hit a rbi double to score the what would be the winning run.

The San Francisco Giants gave up eight runs in the fifth inning and lost to the New York Mets by the score of 9-6 on Tuesday evening.  Had the Giants not given up eight runs in one inning, I think they would have actually won this game because the Mets bullpen was struggling and their hitters really didn’t do much besides the fifth inning.

Barry Zito lost his ninth game of the season and is now 1-9.  Zito pitched 4 1/3 innings while giving up seven hits and letting six runs score.  Zito also walked five batters in the game.  Vinnie Chulk came into the game and gave up another three runs before Patrick Misch pitched the final three innings of the game without letting a run score.

Travis Denker hit a three run home run in the ninth inning for the Giants as they made the score look a little bit closer then it probably should have been.    Besides Denker’s three rbi, Randy Winn collected two while Aaron Rowand finished the game with one rbi.

The Giants will play a afternoon game on Wednesday against the Mets as they finish up their series.
