The lineups are set for the second of the San Francisco Giants three game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks this evening, with just a slight tweak in the lineup. Mark DeRosa will play first today as Brandon Belt gets the day off against the D’Backs lefty Joe Saunders (0-1 6.00 ERA).
Barry Zito (0-1 5.56 ERA) will be looking to lock up the G-Men’s fourth win in a row and his first for the season. But if he can’t get it done, I think it might be about time to lose the ‘stache. It’s definitely a bossy lip jacket, but it might be worth shaving off if he keeps having sub-par outings. Maybe a Don Mattingly sole patch? Anyway, I digress…
