--INF Rich Aurilia hit his sixth homer as part of a 3-for-5, five-RBI Sunday. It was the fifth time in his career he had five RBIs, the last time coming June 7, 2006. He's hitting .287. His two-run homer came off RHP Santiago Casilla in the seventh.
--2B Ray Durham was pulled from Sunday's game with a bruised knee, occurring in the fifth inning on a play at second. He was listed as day to day. Before his exit, he had two doubles for the first time since Sept. 29, 2006, and drove in a run. --SS Omar Vizquel was 0-for-4 on a day the Giants collected 13 hits, and his average slipped to .156. Manager Bruce Bochy said he was considering giving Vizquel a day off, but Vizquel, who had knee surgery in spring training, reported he was good to go.
--RHP Tim Lincecum, Saturday's winner, is 8-0 with a 2.46 ERA in 12 starts after Giants losses. Overall, he's 9-1 with five straight wins. It's the best season-opening start by a Giants pitcher behind than Gaylord Perry's 12-1 in 1966.
--LHP Barry Zito will try again Monday night to win at home. So far in games in San Francisco, he's 0-7 with a 7.34 ERA in eight home starts, and his most recent outing was just two innings. He followed that with a victory in Cleveland in which he pitched 6 2/3 innings. On the road, he's 3-4 with a 4.64 ERA.
BY THE NUMBERS: 8-0 -- Tim Lincecum's record in starts after Giants losses. In all other Giants games, they're 27-45.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It was everything I thought it would be, except for not throwing strike one (to my first hitter). I always imagined I'd paint it." -- Reliever Sergio Romo, who made his big-league debut in Cleveland and threw a perfect inning.
