Round 1 - Jints sweep Rox in 3 straight

Game #1 - 15 Innings
COL 4 13 1
SFG 3 18 0
WP - Mota (1-0)  LP - Street (0-1)

Colorado took a 4-0 lead on a single run in the 4th (Ianetta RBI single) and three in the 5th (Helton RBI double and Gonzalez 2 RBI single).  But the Giants came right back for 3 in the bottom of the 5th on RBI singles by Sanchez, Sandoval and Beltran.  Pat Burrell tied the game 4-4 with an RBI single in the bottom of the 8th.  In the bottom of the 15th Aubrey Huff smacked a one out single, went to 2nd on Ross' walk and scored on Orlando Cabrera's single to left for the win.
 
Game #2
COL 3  6 0
SFG 9 10 0
WP - Sanchez (1-0)  LP - De La Rosa (0-1)

HR:  Giambi (1), Burrell (1), Ross (1), Beltran (1)

A very tight game through 6 and a half innings as broken wide open by the Giants ith 4 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th.  AT&T's reputation is that of a pitcher's park, but don't tell the Giants who connected for 3 HR's.  Cody Ross went 2/4 with a 2B, HR, 3 RBI and 2 Runs for San Fran.  Jonathan Sanchez went 7 innings allowing 1 run on 4 hits while striking out 9.

Game #3
SFG 6 8 1
COL 1 6 2
WP - Cain (1-0)  LP - Millwood (0-1)
HR:  Huff 2 (2)

Matt Cain threw into the 8th before tiring, only giving up one run on 6 hits and 4 walks.  Aubrey Huff accounted for everything that the Giants would need for the sweep by going 2 for 3, with 2 HR's and 5 RBI.  Congrats to the Giants, and their manager John Lowe on their series win.  --submitted by Tom Landers--
