Baseball Betting Lines
07/02/2008 -
San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Cain hurled eight shutout innings,
as the San Francisco Giants topped the Chicago Cubs, 2-1, in the second
installment of a four-game series at AT&T Park.
Cain (5-6) fanned 10 Cubbies on just two hits and three walks for San
Francisco, which has won three of four overall.
Fred Lewis was 2-for-4, scoring both San Francisco runs, including a swipe of
home plate while Randy Winn recorded the team's lone RBI.
Cubs starter Jason Marquis (6-5) was exceptional in defeat, surrendering just
two runs on four hits and three walks while fanning five through seven frames.
The right-hander suffered his second straight loss after rattling off four
straight wins.
Derrek Lee was 2-for-3 with a run scored while Geovany Soto picked up the lone
RBI in the ninth for Chicago, which has dropped five of its last six.
The Cubs haven't won consecutive road games since taking two straight from
Toronto at Rogers Centre from June 14-15.
San Francisco pushed a run across in the first. Lewis started the game with a
single through the right side and Ray Durham followed with a walk. Lewis moved
to third on a force out at second by Winn setting up a double steal of both
home and second, as Soto went to second with the throw.
Lewis led off the sixth with a double and scored on a Winn RBI single two
batters later.
Brian Wilson came on in the ninth, and allowed a leadoff triple from Lee to
right-center. Lee crossed home when Soto lined an RBI single to center two
batters later. Wilson recovered to retire Jim Edmonds on a fly ball before
Mike Fontenot singled. Ryan Theriot went down swinging to end the game and
hand Wilson his National League-best 23rd save.
Game Notes
Theriot was scratched from the starting lineup with a stomach flu. He did,
however, pinch-hit in the seventh and stayed in the game at
shortstop...Chicago took five of seven matchups from the Giants last
season...The Cubs are 1-4 so far on a 10-game road trip and 17-24 away from
Wrigley Field this season...Chicago has lost seven of its last eight road
games.
