Hello and happy Monday everyone.
On Saturday, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Trevor Cahill exited the game with hip soreness. After undergoing an MRI, the team officially listed him as day-to-day with right hip inflammation.
Trevor Cahill's MRI exam showed joint inflammation in his left hip. He was given ant-inflammatory medication and is viewed as day to day at this point.

Cahill could benefit from the Giants having off days on Monday and Thursday, meaning his spot in the rotation isn’t due up until Saturday.
Did Barry Bonds hit a home run today?
Why yes.
August 31, 1993: Against the Atlanta Braves, Bonds hit a solo home run in the 4th inning off of Greg Maddux. It gave the Giants a 1-0 lead, but they would lose 8-2. It was his 39th homer of the year.
August 31, 1999: Against the Philadelphia Phillies, Bonds hit 2 home runs. A 2-run shot in the 3rd inning off of Randy Wolf scored Bill Mueller and gave the Giants a 3-0 lead. A solo shot in the 7th inning off of Amaury Telemaco extended the lead to 6-1, and the Giants would win 8-1. It was his 2nd straight game with 2 home runs, and gave him 5 home runs in the last 3 games, and 30 on the year.
August 31, 2001: Against the Colorado Rockies, Bonds hit a 2-run home run in the 8th inning off of John Thomson, scoring Rich Aurilia. It cut the Giants deficit to 5-2, which was the final score. It was his 57th homer of the year.
