Zito Fillets the Fish

If Barry Zito pitched like that all of the time, he would be worth all the money they pay him, plus more.
Zito was dominant in Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Florida, coming within just two outs of a shutout. The lefty allowed just four hits in arguably his best outing as a Giant. The effort is even more important now that Zito will be asked to step up while Randy Johnson is on the disabled list.
Juan Uribe had the big blow offensively, as he ripped a two run home run off of Marlins All-Star pitcher Josh Johnson. The Giants will go for the three game sweep Wednesday afternoon when rookie Ryan Sadowski takes the mound.
