It was hard to watch the Dodgers build a 3-0 lead against Tim Lincecum and then fail to hold it in a 5-4 loss, but I'm not going to throw Chad Billingsley under the bus for this one.Billingsley was superb through the first three innings and kept making good pitches in the fourth, but the Giants hurt him anyway. Buster Posey's RBI single was on a pitch no higher than his knees, and Pablo Sandoval's RBI double came on one even lower.Aaron Rowand's game-tying RBI single in the fifth was little different – a fastball down in the zone, a good challenge pitch that Rowand drove to left.Obviously, Billingsley wasn't perfect. Posey's second RBI hit, giving the Giants a 4-3 lead, was a fastball up, leading to the last of the nine baserunners Billingsley allowed in five
Giants take the low road to 5-4 victory
