Ainsworth strong in split-squad loss
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Kurt Ainsworth rebounded from a tough first outing to toss three scoreless innings Wednesday afternoon in a split-squad game against the Diamondbacks at Tucson Electric Park.
The Giants wound up losing the game 4-2 in 10 innings, but Ainsworth was impressive, allowing two hits while striking out three and not walking a batter. The right-hander, who is battling for the No. 5 spot in the San Francisco rotation, allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits in two innings during his first start last Friday.
Ray Durham led off the game with a double to left and scored one out later on Rich Aurilia's single to center.
Arizona tied the game in the fourth on a solo home run by Felix Jose. The Diamondbacks then took the lead in the seventh when Quinton McCracken led off the inning with a double and Mike Bell followed with a single to right.
A pair of San Francisco doubles, by Edwards Guzman and Tony Torcato, tied the game in the ninth before Doug Devore's two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the D-Backs the win.
Jose Valverde (1-0) picked up the win in relief, while R.D. Spiehs (0-1) suffered the loss for the Giants.
