| (MySportsbook) - Left-hander Barry Zito looks to avoid an inglorious milestone tonight when the San Francisco Giants open a three-game series with the Florida Marlins at Dolphin Stadium. Zito, in his second year with the Giants, has gone 0-8 in nine starts, bringing him within one loss of becoming the first major leaguer since Mike Maroth in 2003 to open a season 0-9. With a 3-1 loss against the Chicago White Sox on May 17, he already became the first Giant to reach 0-8 since Jesse Burkett did so in 1890. Zito, |

Perhaps Tim Lincecum can give that unit a breather tonight, when San Francisco continues a three-game series with the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The Giants bullpen has been credited with four losses during the club's season-long skid. On the season, San Francisco's relievers are pitching to a 4.54 ERA, tied for 26th in the majors, and have the second-most losses by a bullpe |

As Wells made his way onto the field before the game Monday against the San Francisco Giants, manager Clint Hurdle came up and put his arm around him. ``It's great to have him back,'' Hurdle said. ``I told him he had carte blanche to take however long he needed to get back. ...
