Look for the Giants to announce any day that Russ Ortiz has won a rotation spot, a formality given how he has thrown. Ortiz not only became the first Giants starter to work into the fifth inning, he went six, allowing two solo home runs. Ortiz retired the first nine Rangers and struck out six. He has a 3.00 ERA in 18 innings. When the Giants do announce Ortiz is in the rotation, "I'll be the most excited guy on the team," he said, "even more excited than a young guy just because I went from high up to way down and have a team that believes in me." |
