I was @ AT&T Park enjoying the game where the Giants came from behind to beat the hated Philadelphia Phillies 7-3.
Newly acquired Freddie Sanchez had a fine debut @ the plate getting two hits along with two RBI. His fielding @ second is suspect with a throwing error and his range looks limited. However, in the past decade we've had suspect defenders @ second with Jeff Kent and Ray Durham.
Ryan Garko finally got his second hit, yet he's batting only .125 in 16 @ bats with the Giants. His fielding is horrible! The converted catcher is one of the worst fielding first basemen in the major leagues.
Barry Zito gets his 7th win. Zito hasn't given up more than two earned runs in each of his last four starts. If Barry ends up winning about 12 games for the season, the Giants will get into the playoffs.
Eugenio Velez has been on fire since his recall from Fresno. He batted .194 in his first go round this season and has since raised his average to .302. With Schierholtz's injured, Velez has really capitalized on his opportunity.
