This Weekend's Motor Sports Races

Giants end terrible trip with 5-0 loss What a perfect metaphor for arguably the ugliest road trip in the Bruce Bochy era, a stink pot of bad pitching and worse defense that concluded with the Giants' potent offense scoring one run over the final two games at Coors Field. On Monday night, the Giants begin a three-game series at home against the Nationals, who took five of six from San Francisco. Juan Nicasio had a high ERA, too, at 5.13 before he silenced the Giants on three hits over six innings on a cool, windy day at Coors. After Hunter Pence stole second, giving the Giants two men in scoring position, Nicasio struck out Brandon Belt with a hard 3-2 breaking pitch. Zito fell behind in the count a lot and put eight runners on base in the first three innings, but the Rockies scored just once until Dexter Fowler started the fifth with a single and Gonzalez hit an RBI double off the base of the right-field wall. Crawford committed his third error of the series later in the inning with yet another ill-advised throw by a Giant, but Zito struck out Josh Rutledge to prevent another mistake-fueled run.

The Memphis Grizzlies, everyone's new favorite team to win the Western Conference finals and get to the NBA Championship and perhaps maybe beat the Miami Heat to a Three 6 Mafia soundtrack, just got lit up by the old-ass Spurs, 105-83. It didn't even feel that close, save for a cute third-quarter run that got the Grizzlies within six but was squashed as quickly as it started.Read more
