A 5-2 road trip after the boys salvage a win in a wild one at Coors.
Our favorite Beach Boy closer converts his 10th consecutive save in a 1-2-3 fashion, two outs being of the K variety. He's hasn't allowed a hit to his last 22 hitters and in the entire month of June.
It puts an exclamation mark on the terrific handiwork on the Giants bullpen, which goes 4 innings, allowing no runs and collecting 8 Ks. Extra kudos to Billy Sadler, who gets 4 of his 6 outs on swinging strikeouts and is settling in nicely at the big league level, as well as Keiichi Yabu, who bails Sadler and Taschner out of a basesloaded jam in the 7th. Yabusan secures redemption for last night in short order.
Fred Lewis's monster homer further proves the notion that he has no problems with high altitude.
The offense was very comfortable overall, as Bowker collects three hits, and a vintage Richie and Ray Durham collect two hits apiece.
As a hitter, Dirty liked Coors Field plenty. Unfortunately, the hitters he faced liked it just as much today. Tough outing for him, but in spite of allowing 7 runs in 5 innings, he gets the win. Somewhere, Matt Cain is stabbing himself with a fork.
And a (begrudging) congrats to Ray Durham, who gets his 2,000th career hit.
ThursdRay Discussion: If Ray keeps it up, what do you look for the Giants to fetch on the open market? Do you think they should trade him at all?
And how's that for a Wilson nickname?

Ok, the nicknames on this site are a little ooc but damn, someone ought to give this guy props for his graphic design work...Servin'UAK -- that's some classic Photoshop work right there.
I do enjoy the nickname. I thought Wilson Pitchit may have been funnier, but I will definitely get behind the BB's reference.
kind of cool that a web communications company leaves comments on your blog, HN.
