Pablo Sandoval has hit safely in the first 9 games of the season. The last Giant to hit in the first 10 was Ray Durham in 2007 (first 11). The San Francisco record for longest hitting to start the season in 16 by Willie Mays in 1960.

The Phillies have to get by without both Ryan Howard and Chase Utley to start the season. This is how their replacements have done so far:

1st Base
Ty Wigginton -- .333 (4-12) 1 HR, 4 RBI
John Mayberry -- .250 (2-8)
Laynce Nix -- .167 (1-6), 1 RBI
Jim Thome -- .167 (1-6)
Total: .250 (8-32), 1 HR, 5 RBI

2nd Base
Freddy Gavis -- .222 (6-27), 1 HR, 5 RBI
Pete Orr -- .250 (1-4)
Total: .226 (7-31), 1 HR, 5 RBI

Look for Juan Pierre to get the start in LF on Monday. Besides going 3 for 4 on Sunday vs the Mets, Pierre is 6 for 12 (including 4 for last 4) with a double and 2 triples career vs Lincecum.

Juan Rivera .429 6 for 14
Yadier Molina .412 7 for 17
Hunter Pence is not a big fan of facing Lincecum: .115 (3-26) 8 K's

Due to their time spent in the A.L. East both Aubrey Huff and Melky Cabrera have faced Halladay numerous times, although not with much success:

Career vs Halladay
Aubrey Huff .258 (17-66), 16 Singles, 1 Double, 13 K's
Melky Cabrera .200 (9-45), 8 Singles, 1 HR, 7 K's
