Barry Zito went a long way tonight to making up for all those years of under-performing his contract. He pitches 7 2/3 innings, allowing no runs, but is responsible for a man on first. He allowed just six hits and one walk. Down the stretch this season, he found his control and was able to keep home runs low, and that worked for him tonight. The Giants lead 5-0, and St. Louis is down to four outs.

Update: Santiago Casilla strikes out Matt Holliday to end the inning, and Barry Zito earns a short shutout.
