Some Random Pregame Notes...

  • The Giants allowed 30 home runs in August, but only allowed 15 in September.
  • The Giants have won eight of their last ten games, and 19 of their last 27. 
  • Matt Cain's ERA of 2.52 at home ranks eighth among NL pitchers. He's 3-0 with a 0.82 ERA in his last three starts. He's tied for first in the NL with 25 quality starts. 
  • The Giants went 18-8 in September...their .692 winning percentage in the month was the second-best in the majors.
  • The Giants' 1.78 ERA in September marks the first time they've had an ERA under 2.00 in any calendar month since May of 1989. 
  • Andres Torres' 67 extra base hits are tied for ninth-most in the NL. 
  • Apparently, today is also Roberto Kelly's birthday. Happy Birthday to Cain, Ford, and Kelly!
  • Aaron Rowand is one for his last 20.
