The Skinny: Monday night went pretty much as expected for the Arizona Diamondbacks. With a sagging lineup and San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum on the mound, the equation was just right for a 6-2 Giants' win. Bengie Molina's 3-run homer in the 3rd inning was the big blow offensively for San   more...

It's always fun when the Astros and the Diamondbacks get together. Mostly because it looks like an intrasquad game, seeing as the two squads have exactly the same color schemes.
