AP: Durham drives in 4, Giants pound Davis, D-backs 11-3

Ray Durham drove in four runs with a solo homer and a three-run single and the San Francisco Giants spoiled Doug Davis’ homecoming Wednesday night with a 11-3 rout of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
...
Davis (2-2) was making his second start, first at home, since returning from surgery to remove his cancerous thyroid gland. He allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings, striking out five and walking three, one intentionally.

Jonathan Sanchez blanked Arizona for five innings before giving up two in the sixth as the Diamondbacks lost a series to an NL West opponent for the first time this season.
...
Davis even drew some boos from the home crowd when he walked Rich Aurilia on four pitches with the bases loaded in San Francisco’s four-run fifth. Burriss followed with a two-run single to make it 6-0.

Tough crowd.

Billy Beane never should have cured Doug Davis's cancer.

You'd think people would be desensitized to Davis walking batters by now.

I didn't see this one, but when a pitcher is struggling and the crowd starts booing I think it's usually more a call for the manager to do something before the game slips away than a "you s__k!" directed at the poor sap in the middle.

and a three-run single

You don't see these very often.

I was wondering about that, but the box score says it was a double.

I was pretty shocked to hear the booing.
