Barry Zito Rattles Marlins

Barry Zito was been, for a lack of a better word, horrible since joining the Giants in 2007. He hasn't been the pitcher he was for the A's. That's until he has to face the Florida Marlins. He is 4-0 in 5 starts with 2 shutouts in his career.

The Florida Marlins have served as a confidence booster for Barry Zito since he joined the San Francisco Giants. Zito foams at the mouth like a rabid animal when the rotation lands him on the Marlin's schedule.
