Some wag once opined that "turnabout is fair play." Uh, yeah, whatever. That must have been what Bud Black scrawled on the message board in the locker room before the third game of the Showdown in San Diego. After the Giants out-Padre'd the Padres on
Friday, the Padres returned the favor on
Saturday.
Madison Bumgarner got the "loss" in the 1-0 affair, getting Cained by part-time starter
Tim Stauffer and a
Yorvit Torrealba homer. Evil Bullpen Triumvirate
Luke Gregerson,
Mike Adams, and
Heath Bell threw three hitless innings with five strikeouts to seal the victory. Giants ace
Tim Lincecum would take the hill on Sunday to close out the series against Padres ace
Mat Latos. The young righty beat
Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on the
7th of September with a dazzling, 4-hit, 10-strikeout performance. The big fella would throw 113 pitches in his 7 innings of work,
his highest total for the season and the most of his career (41 starts). The
2010 Padres were a lot like the 2009 Giants--they relied too much on their staff and that eventually cost them
down the stretch. The 2010 Giants, after a lot of re-arranging, finally put together a league-average offense that could complement the outstanding pitching, and that was a big reason why they went all the way.
