Phillies vs. Giants.....
Last night was one of those nights where I take pride in being a Giants fan!! I'm sure all Giants fan's around the Bay Area would agree!!
It was Giants pitcher Matt Cain against Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee.
I knew that Cliff Lee was an outstanding pitcher, but even so I had confidence that the Giants would be able to beat him because they had faced him twice during the World Series (he was on the Texas Rangers at the time) and they were able to beat him twice.....
And I also had a lot of confidence in Matt Cain; in his last start against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he went 9 scoreless innings and gave up one hit!
I had no idea, however, that the game would be scoreless all the way down to the 11th inning!!! Cain lasted until the 9th inning with only 91 pitches, giving up only 2 hits.
Cliff Lee also did an exceptional pitching job. He lasted until the 10th inning with only 102 pitches, giving up only 4 hits.
In the bottom of the 11th inning with one out Brandon Belt hit a one out single. Angel Pagan grounded out to third baseman Ty Wigginton, who lost his grip on the ball, and Pagan reached on an error.
And then Melky Cabrera came up to the plate....and hit a walk-off single to right-center!!
And with all that, the game was only 2 hours and 27 minutes!
