In a week that included closer Hunter Strickland showing contrition with reporters about his terrible decision to let his frustrations out on a door, it is nice to see that his teammates are following his lead.
Chris Stratton made a mistake tonight that possibly cost the Giants the game. The Giants made other mistakes, failed to score more than two runs, and other pitchers allowed runs, but it is Stratton who put the loss on his shoulders.
It was the sixth inning with the game tied at one.
With one out, San Diego Padres third baseman Cory Spangenberg outran Stratton to first base.
