The Giants are now 5-8 and are coming off a split with the St. Louis Cardinals. The offense is coming to life thanks to production from the leadoff spot. The Dbacks are leading the division.
Game One- Randy Johnson vs Jonathan Sanchez. Sanchez is coming off a great start against the Padres going six strong while striking out ten and giving up just three hits and no runs. Sanchez has 18 K's in just 10 IP of work. Hopefully the Giants can steal one in the Big Unit's debut. I expect him to be rusty.
Game Two- Micah Owings vs Kevin Correia. Correia is 1-1 and outpitched Adam Wainwright in his last start. Correia had 7 2/3 IP of shutout baseball and gave up just five hits in that game. He will be facing off against Owings who has looked awfully sharp so far this year. The Dbacks offense has looked even better.
Game Three- Brandon Webb vs Barry Zito. Gulp!! Zito looks to be getting better ever so slightly in every start. He is 0-3 and was bothered by poor fundamentals by his teammates in his last start. Giants are going to have a tough one against one of the best in the game in Webb. Webb is 3-0.
Let's hope the offense stays in gear and we can get 2 of 3 here but 1 of 3 seems more realistic.
