--RHP Chris Young blanked the Giants on two hits over seven innings Wednesday and has not allowed an earned run over 14 innings during his two starts against San Francisco. In both games, Young did not allow a hit until the leadoff batter in the fifth. He has allowed just six hits and three walks over the 14 innings. In between the starts against the Giants, however, Young gave up seven runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings at Philadelphia on April 17.
--CF Scott Hairston, starting Wednesday in his platoon with Jody Gerut because the Giants opened with LHP Barry Zito, went 2-for-5 to finish the road trip 9-for-14 with three doubles, a homer and five RBIs. He is now hitting .438 on the season (14-for-24) with a .750 slugging percentage and .471 on-base percentage.
--RHP Edwin Moreno was the victim of Bengie Molina's game-winning double in the 10th inning Wednesday. After not allowing an earned run in his first seven appearances, Molina has taken the loss in each of his last two outings while giving up three runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning. He also blew a save opportunity in Sunday's loss at Philadelphia.
