Giants win the opener 11-7 as the pitching showdown in a no-show.

San Francisco cracks Cliff Lee in the 5th, scoring 6 times to break open a 2-2 tie. Texas had gotten to Tim Lincecum early, but fails to capitalize on opportunities, and eventually the Giants' lineup of non-roster quality players grinds out some offense against Lee.

Freddy Sanchez collects 3 doubles and drives in the tie-breaking runs in the 5th. Hopefully, the success may earn him enough money to buy a rat to gnaw the moles off his face.

Rangers - Lee
