Scouting Report
Giants: Zito's 0-2 with an 8.68 ERA in his past two starts, following a three-game winning streak in which he allowed one earned run over 20 innings. That's the kind of season it has been for Zito, who lost his first two outings, won the following two, then dropped three of four decisions. One thing hasn't changed: Zito's ability to make the most of whatever support he receives. He's 89-4 lifetime when his teams score at least four runs for him.
Brewers: Milwaukee improved to 10-2 in Vargas' starts after his last outing, an 11-3 rout of the Twins. Vargas has failed to pitch past the sixth inning in each of his starts, but through the weekend only Ben Sheets had a better ERA among Brewers starters than Vargas. He is 3-0 in six starts at Miller Park while holding opponents to a .266 average, 33 points lower than his road mark.

Captain Erv's Thoughts: First off, I am very upset as an afternoon game gets a rare telecast and I have to work. Anyway, we go for the sweep tomorrow against the the 126 million dollar man, Barry Zito who hasn't impressed much. We have taken the series which is great, but a sweep would be even better. Hopefully Vargas can keep his magic going.
