(My Sportsbook) - Tim Worrell allowed four runs on four hits in the top of the 10th of a 5-1 setback to the Chicago Cubs. Worrell also allowed two homers, but all four runs registered to him were unearned. Ray Durham posted three hits and Neifi Perez added a single and a triple for the Giants, who have lost four of their last five. Starter Damian Moss, who was trying to improve to 5-0, worked six innings and permitted eight hits while walking one and striking out five. Kurt Ainsworth takes the hill for the Giants tonight, when they open up a three-game set against the Cincinnati Reds. Ainsworth is 3-1 with a 4.91 ERA in five starts this season. In his last outing, Ainsworth allowed just two runs and eight hits over six innings of a 7-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. He also walked three and struck out four in earning a no-decision. Ainsworth has never faced the Reds in his young career. Edgardo Alfonzo had two hits on Thursday. Rich Aurilia missed his second straight game with an irritated eye. |
