Giants Sweep the Dodgers

            Matt Cain is finally a winning pitcher as he tossed 7 1/3 innings, while scattering five hits and giving up only one run.  This ended a two week drought of starting pitchers being credited with the win as the Giants got out to an early lead, and held it throughout the game. 

            Hunter Pence drove in all four runs and provided two doubles, while lead off man, Andres Torres (batting in place for the injured Angel Pagan, who is listed as questionable for the upcoming series with the Phillies) added three hits and Marco Scutaro added two hits and scored twice.  Pence's second double in 5th inning knocked in Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey.  The Giants were already up 2 – 0 and needed that insurance as the Dodgers stormed back with 3 runs in the 8th off of Giants reliever, Jeremy Affeldt.  Affeldt did his job by getting two ground balls, but Adrian Gonzalez knocked in two with a single up the middle, and the speedy Dee Gordon beat out a high chopper that fell in between Scutaro and Affeldt.

            Korean sensation, Hyun-Jin Ryu had support tonight, but it was from the Korean American fans holding South Korean flags and signs in his native language, and not from the Dodger's lineup.  The expensive Dodger lineup could only muster 5 hits against the Giant's ace and never threatened while Hyun-Jin was in the game.  This was the second time that the Giants were able to beat him this season.

            The Giants complete the sweep of the Dodgers, and improve to 19 – 12 in the young season and are sitting on top of the NL West.  They have won six straight and host the Phillies Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  Tomorrow's game will likely be  a pitcher's duel between Madison Bumgarner and Cliff Lee.  First pitch is at 7:15.
