Game Wrap 06-07-2010: Giants 6 Reds 5

The Giants offense and bullpen overcame a subpar start by Barry Zito to pull out a much needed W over the vastly improved Cincinnati Reds. Key lines:

Freddy Sanchez- 2 for 4, BB. BA= .379. Freddy keeps right on doing what Freddy does best.

Juan Uribe- 2 for 5, 4 RBI's. What a great guy to have in the lineup!

Pat Burrell- 2 for 4. BA= .217.

Buster Posey- 2 for 3, HBP. BA= .455. Buster played Catcher tonight and Bengie sat. If Burrell is going to get significant PT in LF, Molina and Rowand are going to be sitting a lot more since Huff, Posey and Torres are going to play.

Barry Zito- 1 for 2, 2 RBI's. At least Zito helped the Giants dig out of the hole he dug with his pitching.

Barry Zito- 5.2 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 3 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.15. We knew Zito would have these games. Nice that the Giants were able to win this one.

Bullpen- 3.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. Brian Wilson- Save(15). Great job by the bullpen!!!

The Giants stayed put in the standings as the Pads, Dodgers and D'Backs all won. Colorado was idle losing 0.5 games in 4'th place to the Giants 3'rd.

Matt Cain tries to guarantee a series win tomorrow night
