In the NL West: Light schedule today; only other NL West game was SD 11, NYM 5; Giants still in second behind LA, trailing by 6.5 games.
Comments: Well now, a 15-hit, 14-run game in Giants' first visit to the new Marlins Park. Game started out pretty much as expected pitching duel between Anibel Sanchez and Ryan Vogelsong, but Giants went nuts starting in the sixth. Game should have been 17-7 instead of 14-7, but Giants missed a late field goal.
Pitching: Vogie was OK, bullpen wasn't great, giving up four runs after going scoreless the last few games, but the game was a blowout and all can be forgiven.
Defense: None!
Offense: Thirteen runs in four innings? We'll take that anytime. New outfielders were again the key, with Melky going 3-5 with 4 RBIs, and Pagan going 2-5 , also with 4 RBIs. Gregor Blanco also continues to be a wonderful catalyst at the top of the order.
Note: Ryan Theriot was activated but didn't play tonight.
Baseball Quote of the Day: "Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what it most truly is, is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps." (Willie Mays)
Next game: San Francisco vs. Miami, 4:10 p.m. Friday, May 25 at Marlins Park. Lincecum (2-4, 6.02) vs. Johnson (2-3, 4.82). TV: CSN-BA.
