Philadelphia, Sept. 2: Brad Penny allowed five hits in his San Francisco debut Wednesday to help bring the Giants a 4-0 decision over Philadelphia.

Penny (1-0) was released by Boston last week after putting together a 7-8 record and a 5.61 ERA in 24 starts this season.

San Francisco, chasing a playoff berth, quickly signed Penny and he came through in his first outing by blanking the Phillies in a 102-pitch effort.

Jeremy Affeldt completed the shutout by throwing a perfect ninth in a non-save situation.

The Giants began the night's action trailing Colorado by a game in the National League wild-card race.

Cincinnati, Aug. 19: Barry Zito and three relievers combined to throw a two-hit shutout Wednesday, bringing the San Francisco Giants a 1-0 victory over Cincinnati.

The Giants remained a game behind Colorado in the National League wild-card race. Cincinnati, fighting to stay out of last place in the NL Central, lost its fifth straight.

Zito gave up two hits and walked one over six innings, but did not figure in the decision.

San Francisco's run did not come until the eighth, when Edgar Renteria delivered a one-out single off Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo (11-12) and scored on a double to center by Nate Schierholtz.

Relievers Sergio Romo, Jeremy Affeldt and Brian Wilson teamed to retire all nine men they faced.

Everth Cabrera scored from second on a throwing error in the eighth to account for the only run for the Padres, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games.

Giants' starter Matt Cain left the game with two out in the second after sustaining a right arm injury when he was hit by a line drive. X-rays were negative and the injury was diagnosed as a bruise.

Jeremy Affeldt pitched 1 1/3 shutout innings and Brian Wilson got his 22nd save despite giving up two runs on three hits in the ninth.
