While down south the Dodgers will miss Braves phenom Tommy Hanson who kept Padres bats at bay yesterday afternoon, they will have to face Lowe, Jurrjens and Vazquez in three of four games beginning tonight.
A Giants sweep would be huge (especially with Lincecum and Cain throwing) coupled with a split series at Chavez Ravine (2-2) could leave the orange and black just 4.5 games out of the NL West with the Dodgers rolling to town.
The Giants haven't been in striking distance of the division leaders since mid-April and there is no better opportunity to make up ground in a hurry then when your staring across the team your chasing in the other dugout.
Yesterday's win puts the G-Men a season-high 12 games over .500. A rough post-all star stretch seemed like it might sink this team but they righted the ship and the trade dividends were really on display the last 24 hours in Houston.
The boys of the bay are off today, Timmy squares off against Cincy starter Homer Bailey at AT&T tomorrow night.
