The Marlins say good bye and good riddance to Arizona and say hello to San Francisco. The Fish hit town for a three game series.
The Marlins starting pitcher is Rick Vanden Hurk.
The Giants will trot out Barry Zito to the hill.
Game time is 10:15 p.m.
Vanden Hurk has so far been a better pitcher on the road than at home. Although his last start in JRS was one of his best this season, going 6 innings and only allowing 2 ER. His road ERA is 4.40 as compared to his home ERA of 7.71.
Zito has only been a shadow of his former self, so far this season. If for some reason he regains his former stature, it could be a long night. If Zito gets ahead of the hitters look for his signature 12 to 6 curve ball that he is famous for. He normally tosses that pitch about 20 percent of the time. The rest are fast balls and change ups. Zito is a lefty.
Tonight's game and tomorrow's in being picked up by ESPN. So if you are in the same situation as I am, you don't have to watch it on your computer. You get to watch it on the so called big screen called television.
