Game 113: Pirates 5 Giants 0

I guess two weeks off was exactly what Tom Gorzelanny needed. After striking out a career high nine in his first start back, he threw a complete game shutout today and it never looked like the Giants really had a chance. He held them to five hits and only gave up an intentional walk to Bonds over his nine innings to go with four strikeouts. His ERA on the season is down to 3.29 and he's 11-6, which is impressive given the team that he plays on.

The offense today was all Josh Phelps as he had his second big game since joining the club as Adam LaRoche got the day off against the lefty Zito. He hit a two run homer and he hit the third Rajai Davis aided triple of the weekend (Ryan Doumit got the first two). I remember Davis being terrible in center, but he really redefined awfulness in center field over the last three days. Anyways, the Bucs didn't really get much offense besides two hits apiece from the Sunday subs, Phelps, Castillo, and Izturis. But they didn't need it today because Gorzo was so good.
