Back to earth fast
That didn't take long for the afterglow of Matt Cain's perfecto to wear off, thanks to Barry Zito. Who else to be a buzzkill for Giants fans?
It looks like the illusory Barry Zito -- one who can actually get MLB hitters out -- is gone. He gave up a grand slam in the third today to the immortal JD Martinez, and that was the game right there. Nice going, Barry. Thanks for flushing any false hope about your competence down the drain.
As for good news, this was it per the mlb.com story -- Brandon Belt started a Giants rally by homering in his third consecutive game after having gone the entire season without a home run. He hit a two-run blast to McCovey Cove in the fourth for the Giants' 61st Splash Hit and the first by a Giant this season. His last home run before the Astros series had come against the Rockies on Sept. 27.
