Zito and the Giants beat the Phillies today in Philadelphia 8 to 1.

Before Zito's last 3 starts he was at 3-5 with an ERA over 5.00 and many Giants fans were crying about his huge contract but Zito has turned around at least some of those doubters with his recent performances.

Zito is 3-0 with a 0.45 ERA over his last 3 starts. The Giants have won those three games 9 to 1, 3 to 0, and today's game (vs. the Phillies) 8 to 1.

Today's game was also Zito's 4th start this season in which he hasn't given up an earned run (the only run given up today was unearned.)

Inevitable Barry Bonds mention: Bonds went 0 for 4 with 2 strike outs and a walk to lower his season average to .270, he's now only hit 1 home run in his last 61 at bats.
