It is 2:00 AM Central time and Colorado and San Diego are still playing baseball in the 17th inning. I can only imagine the fun Brian Giles owners are having with his 0-7 output.
A few things to note from this game though, one being Matt Holliday stealing 2 bases. He already has 4 on the year and if he reaches 20 steals to go with his 30-40 HR's, 120+ RBI and .320 Batting average...he might be the most valuable hitter unless Arod repeats his power numbers from last year.
Jake Peavy's continued dominance on display with 8 innings 11 K's 0 runs 7 Hits / walks. So Peavy has 4 ER in 30 innings pitched this year. For all the hoopla surrounding Johan, Peavy with Petco Park could easily take the NL Cy Young again or will at least have the ERA / WHIP / K numbers to put his name up there.
After two putrid starts, Jeff Francis gives up 4 Hits / walks in 7 innings along with 7 K's and no runs for a terrific outing. Remember he won 17 games last year and while he probably will not match that, he is the type of pitcher that might not have the best ERA or K rate but will pitch deep into games and in turn gather wins.
