Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants - Recap - May 01, 2009 - ESPN

The Unit gets #297 at home

This was no cheapie. He pitched seven scoreless innings, struck out nine, allowed only four hits. It now appears that Tom Glavine will NOT be the last 300 game winner.

The Giants have won 9 of their last 12 despite a weak offense which has scored the fewest runs in the majors! Their pitchers have not allowed more than five runs in that streak, which includes two 2-0 victories and a 1-0.

The Pirates (!!) and the Giants are now 1-3 in the NL in pitching, despite mediocre records of 11-11 and 11-10.

In the AL, the top three teams in ERA are the Mariners, Royals and As. WTF?? Of course, that pitching hasn't helped the As much. They are 8-11 despite their 3.71 ERA, presumably because they are dead last in the league in runs scored, and by a very wide margin. They have scored 86 runs and no other team in the AL has scored fewer than 100.

The best offense in baseball so far? The surprising Blue Jays.
