   The San Francisco Giants have to be happy to leaving San Diego after getting swept by the Padres. However, the Giants look to  bounce back in LA and right their ship against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The Big Unit takes the ball for the Giants in game 1 of this three game series. Johnson will be opposing Dodgers young ace Chad Billingsley. The Giants need a strong start from Johnson and also need their bats to come alive. The key will be the Giants’ young corner infielders Pablo Sandoval and Travis Ishikawa, who went a combined 2 for 22 in the San Diego series. So look for them to bounce back and lead the Giants offense attack along with veterans Bengie Molina, Randy Winn and Aaron Rowand. The Giants also need outfielder Fred Lewis to stay hot, who is batting .450 on the year (9/20) and has a 6 game hitting streak going. Gametime is slated at 1 p.m. Beat LA!!!!!!!!
