Dodgers shut out GIANTS 5-0 to open 2008

The March to Number #1

Mike Lovell - Talkin' Giants Baseball
The Giants opened the 2008 season with a shut out loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0.

The weak hitting Giants managed five singles in a lackluster effort. Dodgers hurler Brad Penny dominated the Giants despite not having what appeared to be his best stuff. The Giants highlights were Aaron Rowand's two singles and Brian Bocock's tremendous play deep in the hole at shortstop. The other highlight was Eugenio Velez' appearance in leftfield; Velez also added an infield single. Talkin' Giants recommended the move to left permanently several weeks ago.

Barry Zito was mediocre in his 2008 premiere giving up four runs and eight hits including a two run home run to former Giant Jeff Kent in the first inning. That was all the Bums needed.

Tomorrow night the Giants face the Dodgers with Matt Cain facing Derek Lowe. Stay tuned...
