- Your Weekend Giants scores in brief: On Friday, Matt Cain held strong, only allowing two runs over six innings, but the offense couldn't pull off anything more than a solo homer from Panda. Marlins win 2-1, Cain's record slips to 9-9.
- With Lincecum starting on Saturday, the Giants offense woke up a bit - Jeff Keppinger 9who we picked up from the Astros in July) solo'ed to left field. Schierholtz scored on a Marlins error and Aubrey Huff brought in the third run to make it 3-0 Giants. Brian Wilson gets save number 35 on the season.
- On Sunday, Ryan Vogelsong continued to his march to greatness, only allowing 4 hits over 7 innings and two outs. And the offense woke up as well with a two-run homer from Cody Ross, another long ball from Nate Schierholtz and two runs from Brandon Belt, fresh off some time in Fresno. Giants win 5-2. Today kicks off an important series against the Atlanta Braves, who currently lead the wild card race in the NL.
