Game Recap: Giants 3, Rockies 0

SWEEP

  • Aaron Rowand took a four-pitch walk to lead off this game. Yeah, take a moment to let that sink in.
  • The Giants drew six unintentional walks in this game. Doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it kind of is. The last time they did that?

    Yeah. It's been a while.
  • Ryan Vogelsong had a pretty solid start, allowing just one hit through 6.1 IP (with 4 K and 1 BB). I'm still not buying the "Vogelsong is better than Zito talk," though, and it will be a while before I do so...
  • Player of the game: Cody Ross. A couple of hits (including a home run), a walk, and a WPA of .353
  • It's becoming increasingly difficult to put up with Miguel Tejada. In the second inning, Ross drew a leadoff walk. Jorge de la Rosa then threw two straight balls to start off Tejada's AB, and on the next pitch, Tejada swung and grounded into a double play. Come on, Tejada.
We just swept the Rockies. Feels good, huh?
