Not really a recap, actually. Just random notes from this game, I guess.
- That sixth inning sucked. I'll say no more of it.
- As a general rule of thumb, not in favor of Cody Ross leading off against a right-handed pitcher. Career .313 OBP v. RHPs. But hey, it worked tonight.
- Matt Cain allowed five earned runs in 5.2 innings. Which means Giants starters have gone six or fewer innings with 5+ ER three days in a row. Arbitrary endpoints and all, but if I'm not mistaken, this is the longest such streak by Giants starters since...June 17-20, 2007.
- More arbitrary endpoints: the Giants have scored 23 runs over their last 11 games.
- Ian Kennedy is officially a Giants killer: he now has a career 1.87 ERA against them in eight starts, with 49 strikeouts and 18 walks in 57.2 innings pitched.
- From Elias: The Giants have not scored five or more runs in an inning at home this season, although they've done so eight times on the road.
