Giants target second home sweep of season

Aug 24, 2008 - 6:43 AM San Diego (48-81) at San Francisco (57-72) 4:05 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Not much has went right for the San Francisco Giants at home this season, but they have been able to enjoy some measure of success at AT&T Park against the National League's worst teams.

The Giants eye their second home sweep when they face the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

San Francisco sported the league's worst home record for most of the season before notching four straight wins on this homestand to improve to 28-37.

The Giants' only previous home sweep was against league-worst Washington (46-84) from July 22-24.

After Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito each pitched eight strong innings, San Francisco would be happy to see Kevin Correia (2-7, 5.15 ERA) turn in a similar performance.

The righthander, who will be facing his hometown team, took the loss in Tuesday's 6-0 setback against Florida - the Giants' last defeat - after permitting five runs - three earned - and seven hits over 4 2/3 innings.

His counterpart, Josh Banks (3-6, 4.81), will be looking to halt a four-game winless slide. The righthander absorbed his second consecutive setback in Tuesday's 7-6 loss at Arizona, surrendering six runs and four hits with a career-high seven walks over four frames, one start after issuing six walks in a defeat against Milwaukee.
