Let another pitcher's duel commence. After Barry Bonds was one of four players to throw out a ceremonial first pitch in honoring the 2002 Giants team that lost in the World Series, Game 3 was underway, and after a quick inning of work, we've got no score.
Phillies Vs. Giants, NLCS Game 3: Matt Cain, Cole Hamels Off To Fast Starts
Both Matt Cain and Cole Hamels worked perfect 1-2-3's. Cain threw 15 pitches, capping off his frame with a strikeout of Placido Polanco. Hamels threw 18 pitches, capping off his frame with a groundout to third by Buster Posey. All six at bats lasted at least four pitches, so we've seen some deep counts, but we haven't seen any baserunners.
Exactly the start you’d expect from these two teams in this stadium.
