Fortunately for the Giants, the LHP's are carrying the load for the big club. Zito is at 3-1 and Bummer is 3-0. Six and one combined versus a collective 3-5 for the RHP's ( Cain 0-2, Vogi 1-2, Timmy 2-1 ).
Eric Surkamp is not due back ( from TJ surgery ) until perhaps mid-season, so no relief is in sight for Fresno. Kickham is going to have to battle through it. There is no guarantee that Surkamp goes right to AAA after that surgery anyway.
Giants are rapidly approaching .500 and the middle of the division if they are not careful. It's still early but while the Giants and Dodgers were keeping an eye on each other, the Rockies and D-Backs are trying to run off and build an early lead on the "big boys".
from the Fresno Bee:
Grizzlies Report for 4/28: Reno Aces 11, Fresno 2 - Fresno Grizzlies - fresnobee.com:
Kickham kicked -- again: Kickham, regarded as one of the top left-handers in the San Francisco Giants' organization, was shelled for his fourth consecutive start. The 6-4, 220-pounder from Missouri State plunged to 0-3 with a 7.94 earned-run average after giving up 11 hits and eight runs, including six earned. He did strike out seven without a walk, arguably the most important numbers given the conditions. The four-game series produced an average of 15.3 total runs a game -- not unusual at the high, thin air, where balls carry.
