Aurilia gets another big hit to top Cards
Infielder's two-run double the difference in Lowry's first win
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Continuing his heroics from the previous night, Rich Aurilia
lined a two-run, tiebreaking double in Thursday's sixth inning to help the
Giants outlast the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2.
The Giants (6-8), winners of five of their last seven games, won both games of
the two-game series from St. Louis (6-9), which has lost four in a row.
Giants left-hander Noah Lowry (1-2) allowed four hits and both St. Louis runs
in seven innings to earn the decision.
The Giants hadn't scored at all for Lowry this season until they mustered a
pair of fifth-inning runs, tying the score. Ray Durham reached base to open
the inning after St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols dropped second baseman
Aaron Miles' simple throw. Durham scored on Ryan Klesko's triple. Miles
committed a throwing error on Randy Winn's subsequent grounder, but Klesko
would have scored regardless.
With one out in the sixth, Dave Roberts grounded an infield single and Omar
Vizquel walked off St. Louis starter Kip Wells (1-3). Up came Aurilia, who
lashed a 2-1 pitch into the left-field corner. After Durham walked and Klesko
singled, Winn's sacrifice fly scored Aurilia.
Klesko added an RBI double in the eighth inning off Cardinals reliever Brad
Thompson.
