With the Giants desperate for a victory, it was an obvious strategy for them to pitch around the Tigers' most potent hitter.

Me, personally, I was a Mets and Giants fan.

A strategic victory seen as luck by laymen.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

Things are always darkest just before they go pitch black.

Sidney can pitch better, but [he] was good enough to get the victory. I see him as a guy who's going to get better and better with every start. He has had a lot of success in his career, and [he] can do a lot to help our pitching staff.
