The Giants lineup was not able to support a 5-inning, scoreless start by Matt Wilkinson and once again the Dodgers broke through against the bullpen to complete a series sweep. Key Lines:
Jonah Cox 2B- 0 for 3, BB, SB(14), R. BA= .281. Cox continues to create runs at the top of the order with his speed. He walked to lead off the game, stole 2B and scored on Victor Bericoto's(DH) single. Cox has to play every day and bat leadoff next year, has to! Jung Hoo Lee RF had the only other hit in the game for the Giants and exited the game after fouling a pitch off into his groin area. Ouch!
Matt Wilkinson LHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.65. This was Wilkinson's best start and it comes after a pair of scoreless relief appearances. He should be in the mix either a rotation or long relief role next season.
More sad news for Giants fans as Duane Kuiper announced he has throat cancer and has started treatment. He plans to be in the booth with Mike Krukow for Kruk's last game as a commentator. Kuip hopes to be back next season. Wish both of them the best but it seems pretty clear that a whole era of Giants broadcasting is coming to a close.
The Giants return home for their final homestand with Blade Tidwell RHP taking the mound tomorrow evening Zebby Matthews RHP who comes in with a 4.74 ERA. Hmm....I wish the Giants had a player named Zebby.
