The Padres swept the Giants and are now 7.5 games ahead of the Giants. Saturday's game featured great pitching from Lowry. Lowry went 7 innings and gave up two. Fassero and Walker combined to blow it for the Giants giving up three to get Fassero the loss. In tonight's game, Schmidt looked horrible again giving up six runs through 4 1/3 innings. The Giants fought back to tie it up but Walker gave the lead to the Pads to give them the sweep. Matt Herges was sent for assignment which means Herges is no longer a Giant. Herges has a chance within 10 days to be acquired by another team through a trade, on waivers or by free agency. Sabean is not done like I said.
