Starting Time: 8:40 TV: Comcast Sports Network San Francisco Bay Area, Fox Sports Rocky Mountains Comments: It has been lost on most that Giants lefty Barry Zito has an E.R.A. of 2.36 since the All-Star break, which is better than the team’s two aces—Tim Lincecum (2.65) and Matt Cain 2.53). The figures say Zito is at the top of his form and is ready to pitch his best game of the season and that should be enough for the Giants to get the job done in the pitchers’ duel of the day.
Partly cloudy with a 40-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 70.
Kelso 8/24
