DiNardo, A's blank Giants, complete sweep

Baseball Betting Lines

06/11/2007 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lenny DiNardo tossed six scoreless innings and the bullpen did the rest, as the Oakland Athletics completed the sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 2-0 win at AT&T Park.

Santiago Casilla (2-0) got the win after twirling two perfect frames in relief and Alan Embree worked the ninth for his seventh save of the year.

Marco Scutaro homered and Shannon Stewart knocked in a run for the A's, who have won eight of their last nine.

DiNardo has not allowed a run over his last two starts. The last time the southpaw was on the hill he was brilliant against the Red Sox, posting a 2-0 win. In the victory over Boston, the 27-year-old tossed six scoreless innings, scattering two hits, while walking six batters.

The reliever-turned-starter scattered four hits over this outing while striking out five and walking a pair.

Matt Cain (2-6) was the tough-luck loser. The young right-hander surrendered just one run on five hits over eight innings while striking out eight for San Francisco, which has dropped five of six.

Barry Bonds remains stuck at 746 career home runs, nine behind Hank Aaron for first on the all-time list. He ended 0-for-3 with a walk.

Scutaro broke up the scoreless stalemate in the eighth, leading off the frame with a blast to left for his third home run of the season.

The A's added an insurance run in the ninth. Mark Kotsay got things going with a double to center. Brad Hennessey rebounded to get Jason Kendall to fly out, but then yielded a base hit to Stewart that brought Kotsay in.

Game Notes
