Matt Cain

3-3 | 3.53

Cain gave up four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five Tuesday night against the Marlins but took the loss. The three walks tied a season high for Cain, and consecutive walks in the third proved to be his undoing.

Yovani Gallardo

6-2 | 4.35

Gallardo is on a roll. After allowing at least four earned runs in five consecutive starts from April 10-May 2, he's 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his last four starts. A quicker tempo helped Gallardo get on track.

It's so great to come off of a victory by Wolf or Narveson when they are followed up by Gallardo or Greinke. Every 5 days from here on out if we win two out of the three games that Gallardo, Greinke, and Marcum pitch and win half the games that Wolf and Narveson pitch we'll end up with 94 wins. I think that has to be the goal, if not the expectation for this team.

I like the lineup today. I would've started Counsell for Betancourt and hit him 8th, otherwise I can't complain.

[ilovebeer]

I like Morgan batting 2nd. lets finish the homestand off with a 8-1 record. today is another sro crowd.

[derflotr]

The timing of Hart being ill could've been worse. Hart only has 1 hit in 12 PA vs. Cain in his career. Typical vs. batter small sample size, but I can imagine him having a tough time with his slider. Gallardo's been much better lately, feel good about this one. WEAR THE WHITES!

[craigharmann]

Got the game on my IPhone and after I eat lunch, I'll be cleaning the garage while listening to Uke and Cory.....what could be better? Other than being at the stadium, but it's 99 and perfect in San Antonio, so I'll take what I've got!

[ilovebeer]

Lets hope Yo keeps his pitch count down.

[pebadger]

Betancourt stinks. If he had any range he would have gotten to that. He may have cost Yo a perfect game.

[ilovebeer]

What a nice low pitch inning for Yo, keep it up.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice hit and run!

 

Lets get some runs early off of Cain here.

[Oxy]

I feel good about the hit and run with Morgan at the plate as opposed to Gomez, that's for sure. Worked out well there. Would be nice to get to Cain early!

[liveforoctober]

Morgan makes my life so much easier. Love a good, stereotypical #2 hitter!

[craigharmann]

Plushdamentals are elemental!

[ilovebeer]

nice job Ryan getting us the early lead.

[bucksman4]

Always nice to give your SP a nice little cushion in the 1st. Keep adding on!

[jjfanec]

Prince needs to move the runners there. Dont feel good about Casey and Kotsay pushing another one across. Hope I am wrong

[dlk9s]

Hope I am wrong

Wish granted.

[ilovebeer]

that was a nice rbi hit by Casey.

[ELCABALLO45]

Haha I love when all our ground balls find holes!

[Oxy]

Well, we aren't exactly pounding the ball here, but I'll take it!

[craigharmann]

Of course! I put Casey on my fantasy bench, and he gets an RBI. Oh well.

[bucksman4]

He was right about the Kotsay part though...ugh

[tommyboy42609]

25 pitch inning for Cain not bad.

[jjfanec]

Hope I am wrong

Wish granted.

Glad to be wrong. Getting that second run is nice. Now I hope to see Yo keep his pitch count down.
