Giants center fielder Angel Pagan was able to overcome his bout with the flu Monday against the Nationals during an 8-0 victory, MLB.com reports. 

Pagan had to take batting practice just to prove he was able to play. Manager Bruce Bochy was calling him a "game-time decision." 

Pagan led off and went 2 for 5 in the game with a double and three RBI. He scored a run and is batting .260. Pagan drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning and added two more RBI with a single to center in the seventh.

Giants reliever Jean Machi so impressed in his earlier callup, posting a 1.74 ERA in nine appearances, the team recalled him Saturday, just after the 10-day waiting period for an optioned player expired.

Brett Pill was optioned to Triple-A Fresno to make room on the active roster.

Machi struck out 10 batters in 10 1/3 innings, while walking just three.

News
Giants starter Barry Zito endured another rough outing as he suffered his third loss of the season Sunday afternoon against the Rockies.

Zito (3-3), who made his ninth start of the season, surrendered a run-scoring single to Carlos Gonzalez in the first and two more in the fifth. The left-hander was charged with five runs and 11 hits over 5 2/3 innings of work. He struck out four and walked two in a 5-0 defeat.

Zito has allowed 13 runs -- 10 earned -- over his last 11 1/3 innings of work. He is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Rockies. Zito is 3-0 with a stellar 0.55 ERA in five starts at AT&T Park.

News
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has continued to sit against occasional lefties, holding back his point total in Head-to-Head leagues, but if he keeps hitting like he has over his last 26 games, producing a .321 (25 for 78) batting average, six home runs, 10 walks and a 1.020 OPS, he'll entrench himself as an everyday player once and for all.

And Fantasy stardom may follow.

Is it really so far-fetched? We've been waiting for this guy to step up his power production for a couple of years now. In that 26-game stretch, he has nearly as many home runs as he hit in 145 games last year. And that's after ranking among the league leaders in home runs this spring. If that's not stepping it up, I don't know what is.

Not that I think Belt is going to hit 30 home runs or compete for NL MVP. But if you're still messing around with Todd Frazier or Paul Konerko at DH, it's time to upgrade.

News
Giants outfielder Andres Torres tied a season-high with three hits Monday against the Nationals. He had one run, one double and one RBI. 

Torres, who has managed three hits three times, came into Monday's game mired in a 1-for-17 slump in his previous eight outings (three starts). Torres is batting .247 through 33 games.

News
The Giants have begun to discuss replacements in the rotation for Ryan Vogelsong, who will miss 4-6 weeks after fracturing two bones and dislocating a joint in the pinkie finger on his right hand Monday. The Giants don't have to rush to a decision, however, since they won't need a fifth starter until May 28.

Manager Bruce Bochy said long reliever Chad Gaudin would be considered to replace Vogelsong. MLB.com suggests minor-league pitchers Chris Heston, Michael Kickham and Shane Loux could be considered as well.

News
Yes, those nine home runs Matt Cain allowed in his first six starts were frustrating, but the Giants ace seemed to get back on track with dominant outings May 5 and May 10, allowing just one home run between the two.

So what happened in his latest start Thursday, when he allowed three home runs and six earned runs in 6 1/3 innings?

For starters, he was pitching at Coors Field -- and not the snow-covered Coors Field we've seen for much of the season, but the one that typically accompanies 81-degree temperatures (you know, suitable baseball weather).

After a couple of years of relatively fair play with the introduction of the humidor, Coors Field was back to being kryptonite for many of the pitchers who came through there last year. Now that the weather is back to normal, I have a feeling Cain won't be the only notable pitcher to suffer from its effects.

Giants catcher Buster Posey's solo home run in the eighth inning Friday against Colorado narrowed what was a five-run deficit at one point to just one, but the team ended up falling just short in a 10-9 loss.

Posey did his part, reaching base in three of his five plate appearances, going 2 for 3 with a walk and a sacrifice fly. He drove in two runs and scored two more. He is now batting .293 on the season.

News
Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum suffered his third loss Saturday night against the Rockies.

Lincecum (3-3) surrendered three runs in the third and a two-run home run to Wilin Rosario in the fifth. The right-hander was charged with six runs and seven hits over five innings. He struck out four and walked two in a 10-2 loss.

Lincecum will get another crack at the Rockies in his next start Friday at AT&T Park. He is 2-1 with a 3.71 ERA in four starts at home.

News
Giants starter Madison Bumgarner, who had a solid performance his last time out, took a step back as he endured his worst outing of the year Friday night against the Rockies.

Bumgarner (4-2), who failed to protect an early four-run lead, surrendered five runs in the fifth, including a grand slam to Jordan Pacheco that broke the game open. He was charged with nine runs -- seven earned -- and eight hits over 4 2/3 innings of work. He struck out four and walked two in a 10-9 defeat.

Bumgarner has allowed two home runs in his last three starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at home against Washington. He went 1-1 with a 5.14 ERA in two starts last season against the Nationals, including a complete game on Aug. 14, 2012.
