Giants hope to avert season-opening sweep

Apr 5, 2007 - 1:53 PM San Diego (2-0) at San Francisco (0-2) 10:15 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Bruce Bochy is not happy to see his former team doing so well at his expense.

Bochy left the San Diego Padres to manage the San Francisco Giants. But his first series as Giants manager could turn out to be a disaster if the Padres complete a three-game sweep on Thursday.

Barry Bonds hit his 735th career homer on Wednesday, but the Giants lost to the Padres, 5-3. Chasing Hank Aaron's all-time mark of 755 homers, Bonds homered off Chris Young in the first inning.

San Diego will send Clay Hensley to the mound on Thursday. Bonds is hitless with three walks in seven career at-bats against Hensley.

Hensley tied for second on the team with 11 wins in 2006 and finished strong, allowing two runs or fewer in each of his last five starts. He allowed two earned runs and eight hits over 12 2-3 innings in two starts against the Giants last year.

San Diego hasn't opened 3-0 since starting the 2003 season with seven consecutive wins.

San Francisco, which hasn't been 0-3 since 1984, will send veteran Matt Morris to the mound. Morris reached double figures in wins for the sixth straight season in 2006 but his 4.98 ERA was the highest of his career.

Morris is 6-3 with a 3.07 ERA in 17 career appearances against the Padres.
