Blach, the Giants' fifth rounder a year ago, pitched into the 7th inning for the first time as a pro. Both he and Anderson, whom the Rockies selected in the first round two years ago, allowed just one run. Blach's K/IP is just 0.60, but he did have a 10/2 GO/FO line this evening. Strickland had 2 K in a perfect 9th inning.

Delfino and Jones each had one of the GreenJackets' four hits and one of their four walks.

Stratton struck out 11 of his 25 batters and had a 6/1 GO/FO line. Despite allowing just two hits, he allowed 2 ER in both the 2nd and 4th innings, as the two hits were an RBI double and a 2-run HR.

Houck had two of the GreenJackets' five hits (all singles). With hits in nine of his ten games, he has a .400 AVG through 30 AB.

Gregorio went just 2.0 IP in his fourth start. The box score and game log do not appear to suggest why his start was abbreviated. McVay and Law, the second and third of three GreenJackets relievers, combined for 6 K in 3.0 perfect IP.
