Giants hope to bounce back from another loss
Apr 18, 2007 - 2:11 PM St Louis (6-7) at San Francisco (4-8) 10:15 pm EDTSAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- The San Francisco Giants are finding wins hard to come by early in the season.
The Giants host the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday in the opener of a two-game series.
San Francisco watched three relievers blow a three-run lead in the eighth inning Tuesday night in a loss at Colorado. Matt Cain surrendered just two hits in seven shutout innings, but the bullpen yielded five runs in the eighth.
Home has offered little comfort for the Giants so far this season. They have dropped five of six at AT&T Park.
Matt Morris (2-0, 2.38 ERA) starts Wednesday for the Giants. The veteran righthander has picked up two of San Francisco's four wins this season, allowing just three runs in 11 2/3 innings.
The Cardinals counter with Randy Keisler. The 31-year-old lefthander came up through the minors as a starter, but had not made a start since 2005 before pitching for the Cardinals on April 10 at Pittsburgh. Keisler allowed two runs in six innings, but did not factor in the decision.
St. Louis was swept in a two-game series by Pittsburgh and has failed to score more than three runs in six of its last seven games.
