Terry Mulholland (0-0, 5.30) is pitching for the Giants today.
The Padres (who are now 1-16), are using Dan Petry (0-3, 6.06).

I am 1 for 3 vs Petry.

I kicked the game off by whiffing.

In the bottom half, Carmelo Martinez hit a solo shot with one out to give the Pads the lead.

Padres lead 1-0.

In the 2nd Frank White scored on a Juan Beniquez groundout.

Padres lead 2-0.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Mulholland on 1st. I replaced him on 1st with a fielder's choice. I picked up stolen base #12, outrunning a pitchout. I moved to 3rd, and Kenny Oberkfell was safe at 1st, on a White error. Chili Davis dropped a ball into right and I crossed.

Padres lead 2-1.

We started the 4th off strong as Mike Aldrete tripled and then Bob Brenly homered, to put us ahead.

Giants lead 3-2.

In the bottom half we made a nice Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Tony Gwynn and Kevin McReynolds out.

I led off the 5th by singling up the middle. Despite another pitchout, I picked dup stolen base #13 easily. I went to 3rd on a Kenny O grounder. Chili doubled into the right field corner and I scored again. Later Aldrete singled him home and Brenly hit his second homer of the game.

Giants lead 7-2.

I came up in the 6th with two out and Bob Patterson now pitching for San Diego. I grounded out to Martinez at 1st.

San Diego came back in the bottom half as White singled home both Martinez and Gwynn.

Giants lead 7-4.

In the 7th we got those runs back and more as Aldrete singled home Kenny O, Robby Thompson walked with the bases juiced, and Lee Mazzilli singled home Aldrete.

Giants lead 10-4.

Willie Fraser replaced Terry on the mound for us.

I led off the 8th, now facing Jerry Reuss. I flew out to McReynolds in centre.

I got the 1st out int he bottom half, taking a funky bounce to throw out McReynolds. Turn about and all that.

We held on for the win, putting us to 10-7.

I went 1 for 5 but scored twice and stole a couple of bags.

We have passed the Astros into 3rd in the NL West, 3 games behind the leading Dodgers.
