Fred Lewis was in the midst of a slump offensively, where he was 4 for 32 in the month of June. But Lewis came up big as he hit a go-ahead two-run homer and a no-doubter off Rangers Starter Scott Feldman to lead the Giants to a 6-4 victory. Lewis went 1 for 3 in the game with his HR and 2RBI’s, but he struck out twice in his first two at bats. Nonetheless, Lewis’s big hit must of been a relief to him and his peers and it definitely sparked the Giants to a victory.

Randy Johnson took the no decision in the game as he pitched 5.2 innings and ended up giving 4 earned runs as he left with 2 runners on with the Giants leading 3-2, but reliever Brandon Medders came in and on his first pitch, Rangers outfielder Marlon Byrd delivered a go-ahead two-run double to put the Rangers up 4-3 and make Johnson in line for the loss. 

However, Lewis changed that quickly with his big homerun that ended up richocheting off a fan’s hands and into McCovey Cove. 

Sergio Romo came in the 7th with runners on 1st and 2nd and just one out and he got a couple outs to hold the Giants lead and pick up his 1st victory of the season.

NL holds leader and setup man Jeremy Affeldt came in to throw a 1,2,3 8th inning and lowered his E.R.A. to 1.65. And Wilson pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his 18th save of the season and lowered his E.R.A. to 3.23. 

Giants offense was led by Aaron Rowand, who went 3 for 3 on the day which included a lead-off homerun to start the game, his 3rd one of the season and 4th of his career. Rowand is currently hitting .303 with 7HR and 31RBI and he needs the fans support to get him voted into the All-Star game in St. Louis next month.
