Melky sets Giants record for hits in May...



With his eighth-inning single to right field Tuesday night, Melky Cabrera established a San Francisco-era record for most base hits in the month of May with 50.

Willie Mays had held the mark with 49 hits in May of 1958.

Up next, the single-month record of Randy Winn's 51 hits, accomplished in September of 2005.

Melky is now batting .376, he's already had 3 4 hit games and leads all of MLB in hits. Meanwhile, the pitcher he was traded for, Jonathan Sanchez, is on the DL with an ERA of 6.75 and a WHIP of 1.86..

I'll go out on a limb and say Sabean and the Giants got the best of this one..

lead MLB in unearned runs given up....Pablo Sandoval on the DL, Lincecum struggling. Yet, for all that, and even after the Dodgers hot start, the lead is still only 5 1/2 games. I don't blame you for looking over your shoulder..

...someone should pass Lincecum a joint or something. You must not have a deep bench or farm system if your team is that dependent on Sandoval to not drop the ball/blow the throw.
