Giants Game Friday

Friday is going to be another very important game for the Giants as they push closer and closer to securing another Division Title.  The starting pitchers for Friday's game are for the Giants Matt Cain (13-5 2.96 era) vs. for the Diamonbacks Tyler Skaggs (1-1 4.43 era).  Going into tonight the Giants are 7 games up on the Dodgers and 10 games up on the Diamondbacks.  The Dodgers host the Cardinals tonight as Lance Lynn faces off against Josh Beckett.  The Diamondbacks have the night off as they get ready for a series starting tomorrow against the Giants.  Although Tim Lincecum was a little shaky again last night he kept the Giants in the game so that the offense could find a way to pull off a win.  Another thing as well is that Tim Lincecum is likely to reach 200 strikeouts for the 5th time in his career, he is currently at 177K's.  The offensive attack last night was led by a 5 run first inning keyed by Scutaro, Arias, Sanchez and Crawford.  The final score was 8-3 Giants.  The bad news is that Hector Sanchez got hurt sliding into home plate in the first inning and may be out for a couple of days to rest the shoulder.
