Zito Finally Wins

Barry Zito overcame his struggles several starts ago, and posted his third decent start in a row this evening. More importantly, the Giants scored more than three runs in support of Zito for the first time this season. With the combination of a quality start and run support, Zito won his first game, and avoided becoming the only Giants starter to ever start the season 0-9. Zito still struggled controlling his curveball, but the break on the pitch was much sharper, and he rarely missed in a spot where he could get hurt. If he continues to regain the movement and command of his curveball, Zito could become a legitimate number three starter for the Giants.
