Today the Cardinals are going with Danny Cox (8-7, 3.67)
The Giants are replying with Atlee Hammaker (7-9, 3.42)

I have gone 2 for 7 vs Cox.

The Cardinal struck early as Terry Pendleton hit a two-run single.

Cardinals lead 2-0.

I led off the bottom half by singling up the middle. I picked up stolen base #68 in short order. After Ken Oberkfell flew out I also stole 3rd. Chili Davis grounded out and I scored.

Cardinals lead 2-1.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and grounded out to Tom Herr at 2nd.

I got the 1st out in the 4th, grabbing a Phil Garner pop up. I also got the 1st out in the 5th, taking a David Green grounder.

I came up in the bottom of the 5th with one out and John Castino on 3rd and Kenny Smith on 2nd. I legged out an infield single, picking up the RBI as Castino crossed to tie the game. I immediately stole 2nd for stolen base #70. Kenny Smith scored on a Kenny O sac fly.

Giants lead 3-2!

In the 6th I got the 2nd out, taking a Garner grounder, and the 3rd out, making a tougher play on Terry Pendleton.

I came up in the 7th with one out, now facing Dave Rucker. I grounded out to Pendleton at 3rd.

In the 8th I was the pivot on a Hammaker - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Tom Herr and Juan Beniquez. Nice play by Atlee!

Ron Davis came in to close things out in the 9th (while Sixto Lezcano also came into left in a double with, in case Ron CAN'T get it done). He got the 1st out but then walked Garner. Pendleton then hit into an O'Malley - Priske - O'Malley double play to win the game!

That is five in a row for us!

2 for 4 with an RBI and a Run scored... and THREE stolen bases!

I was even quoted in the BNN recap where they called me 'the best prospect in baseball'.

52-42

NL West Standings

Dodgers - --
Reds - 0.5
Giants - 2.5

After the game we heard that Eddie Vargas and Mike Jones were swapping again. Eddie is up now.
