Barry Zito held Rockies to one earned run over eight-plus innings Saturday as the Giants nabbed a crucial 5-3 win.
This NL West and Wild Card race is starting to get really interesting, with the Giants improving to 71-59 and the Rockies falling to 72-58. Zito continued his recent dominance Saturday, racking up seven strikeouts against one walk. He has an ERA around 2.00 since the All-Star break and is a must-own in all leagues down the stretch. Perhaps he's finally figured out how to pitch effectively without overly-dominant stuff.
