From the Porch: More Melky

Why is this brick wall behind home plate?
Sunday, May 27, 2012


Giants 3, Marlins 2 at Marlins Park


SF (25-23) 100 101 000  3 7 1
MIA (26-22) 000 010 100  2 6 1


WP: Cain (5-2)
LP: Nolasco (5-3)
SV: Casilla (12)
HR: Cabrera (4)


Cain: 6.2ip 5h 1er 3bb 4k 2.79
Nolasco: 7ip 5h 3er 2bb 2k 4.26


In the NL West: COL lost to CIN, SD lost to NYM, LA-HOU and ARI-MIL just getting started. Giants 7 back at the moment.


Comments: Matt Cain was back in beast mode, scattering five hits and only getting in trouble a couple of times; and Melky Cabrera was just amazing, 4/4 with a home run, and scored all three Giants runs. Series split 2-2, road trip 4-3.


Defense: Cabrera and Angel Pagan made a couple of wicked plays in the outfield besides having good days on offense.


Offense: Melky is hitting .369 and  threatening to break Willie Mays' Giant record for most hits in May. Willie had 49 in 1958; Melky has 46.


Baseball Quote of the Day: "I'm so secure in myself I couldn't care less what people think of me." (Barry Zito)


Next game: Diamondbacks at Giants, 2:05 p.m. PDT Monday, May 28 at AT&T Park. Cahill (2-4, 3.74) vs. Zito (3-2, 3.53). TV: CSN-BA
