For the second straight day, Brian Wilson picked up another victory on Thursday afternoon. But this time around, he didn't give up a late-inning home run to do it. Instead, he pitched a perfect ninth inning of a tied ballgame and then watched as the Marlins give the game to the Giants in the bottom of the ninth. A wild pitch by Florida reliever Kevin Gregg scored Emmanuel Burriss to give the home team a 4-3 win to take the three-game series at Willie Mays Plaza. Randy Winn continued his torrid August with two more hits on Thursday, and he scored on Aaron Rowand's single in the fifth that gave the Giants a one-run lead. Matt Palmer had a much better start than was the case in his first major-league one, when he was shelled by Atlanta for seven runs in only 2 1/3 innings. He turned that around very quickly against another NL East foe, going six solid innings and giving up only a pair of runs on six hits, walking three and striking out two. He was in line for his first big-league win until Florida scored a run off Giants reliever Jack Taschner in the seventh to tie the game at 3-3. The Giants will welcome the San Diego Padres into their ballpark for a three-game series that starts Friday night, when Tim Lincecum takes the hill against the Padres' Cha Seung Baek. |
