Lidle Tames Rangers, 7-0
Cory Lidle of the San Francisco Giants spun his magic on the Texas Rangers. He blanked them, 7-0, on 5 hits, registering 6 strikeouts and 2 walks.

"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Lidle said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."

Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, San Francisco skipper Dusty Baker said the team "got solid pitching, good defense and took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations."

"Cory pitched really well but this was a solid performance by everyone," he said.

This year, Lidle has a 3-5 record with a 3.21 ERA.
