Giants Split 4 Game-series with the Mets
After yesterday's 10-1 win for the Giants, they split the 4-game series with the New York Mets. In the first game of the series, the Giants got shut out by the Mets 3-0, even though pitcher Barry Zito only allowed 3 runs in his start. In the second game of the series, the Giants had an early lead, but gave it up late and allowed the Mets to tie the game and force it into extra innings. In the top of the 10th inning, Bengie Molina was up to bat and hit a home-run that gave them a one run lead and proved to be the game-winning hit. During the 3rd game of the 4-game series, the Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez had another quality start allowing 2 runs and Randy Winn tied the game for the Giants late, but in the 9th inning their bullpen gave it up. In the bottom of the 9th, Mets' Daniel Murphy hit a walk-off base hit off of one of the best Giants relievers, Jeremy Affeldt. In the last game of the series in New York, the Giants blew out the Mets 10-1 and split the series with the Mets. Starter Joe Martinez only gave up one run in 5 innings pitched and got his 2nd win as a starter in the MLB, thanks to a much needed Aaron Rowand home run, Nate Schierholtz's double, Edgar Renteria's single, and a bunch of hits off of Livan Hernandez. So now the Giants look to try to win a series in Cincinnati against the Reds.
