Padres 4, Giants 3
It's always nice to see the Giants lose, and a good thing for the Pads to see them get a win in their home opener in their shiny new ballpark. Last night's game was a doozy, with heartbreakers around each corner. We listened in at home on MLB.com's Gameday Audio while moving furniture back into the house. (We are finally starting to get our life back after painting and reflooring. Hooray!) The Pads came into the ninth with a 1-0 lead, and their ace closer, Trevor Hoffman, to put the nail in -- only he didn't, and the Giants cracked open the lead on a Ray Durham double, score 2-1. The Pads tied it up 2-2 in the ninth against Matt Herges, the Giants' closer-until-further-notice, on a Burroughs single. In the tenth, ex-Dodger Marquis Grissom hit a no-doubter over the fence, nudging the Giants up by one, 3-2. Bonds almost hit one to follow out of the park, too, but Jay Payton nabbed it atop the 7'6" fence. The Pads finally won the game in the 10th on a pair of runs scored on a Miguel Ojeda double and a Shawn Burroughs single. Ducksnorts has a much better summary; and you can read the mlb.com summary here.
