Philadelphia Defeated By Giants, 9-1
Cory Lidle pitched a gem to lead San Francisco to victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-1. San Francisco has 3 straight wins, Philadelphia 3 straight losses.

Jose Cruz Jr. had a big 2-run home run for the Giants in the bottom of the third inning. With San Francisco leading 3-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a slider from Curt Schilling, who finished 4th in the VBL in strikeouts with 260 in 2002, and punished it. The result was his 17th home run of the season, which put the Giants on top, 5-1.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said San Francisco manager Dusty Baker.
