Today the Reds are bringing Jay Tibbs (9-6, 3.37).

The Giants are going with Willie Fraser (11-4, 3.91).

I have gone 10 for 19 vs Tibbs! .526! I hope I can continue THAT trend!

The Reds got on the board in the 1st when Al Newman scored on a Will Clark sac fly.

Reds lead 1-0.

I led off our half by flying out to Kal Daniels in left.

We evened it up in the 2nd when Mike Aldrete scored on a Kenny Oberkfell grounder.

Game tied 1-1.

Clark struck again in the 3rd, singling home Charlie Moore. Then Daniels doubled home Newman.

Reds lead 3-1.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd putting one through the right side for my 100th hit of the season. Unfortunately Robby Thompson followed by hitting into a double play.

I made my first play in the 5th, snagging a tough liner by Newman for the 1st out.

I came up in the 5th with one out and Willie on 1st. I hit into a fielder's choice to replace Willie on 1st. I moved to 2nd on a wild pitch but got no further.

After Willie gave up a hit to the leadoff man, Nestor pulled him for Mike Perez. In hearted runner Eric Davis scored on a Moore double.

Reds lead 4-1.

Mike gave up a couple of hits in the 7th and left with one out. Frank William was next into the game. Davis doubled, scoring both inherited runners.

Reds lead 6-1.

I came up in the 7th with two out and Kenny O on 3rd. Wayne Rosenthal was pitching. I grounded out to Ryne Sandberg at 2nd.

Jeff Robinson came in to pitch the 8th. I got the 2nd out for him, grabbing a Newman grounder.

Things took a change in the bottom half. With two out Kenny singled, scoring both Robby T and Rob Deer. Then John Rabb smacked a three-run blast and the game as tied!

Game tied 6-6!

Scott Garrelts came in to pitch the 9th. The Reds loaded the bases against him but he pitched out of it.

I led off the bottom of the 9th, with Ted Power now on the mound. I struck out. But Robby T scored on a Deer sac fly for a walk-off 7-6 win!

Big come from behind win for us!

I only went 1 for 5 but I am still pretty happy! We are now only one game behind the Reds and 2.5 behind the Dodgers!

Tomorrow is a travel day and we are heading to Atlanta!
