Today the Giants (Doyle Alexander) are taking on the Astros (Manny Hernandez).

The Astros have this guy playing 3rd who stole 90 bags in the minors last year. His name is Jose Leiva.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by singling up the middle. I didn't get a chance to steal because Hernandez got called for a balk. I then scored on a Chris Brown single. Chris later scored on a Rob Deer double. Chili Davis scored on a wild pitch, and Rib and Robby Thompson scored on a Bob Brenly single.

Giants lead 5-0

I got the 1st out in the 2nd off a Brian Harper grounder.

I led off the bottom half by lining out to Bill Doran at 2nd.

I got the 1st out in the 3rd off a Karl Allaire grounder. I then did the same to Hernandez for the 2nd out. I made it a clean sweep for the inning off a Leiva grounder.

I came up with one out in the 4th and took a glancing blow from a pitch. I then stole 2nd and moved to 3rd on a Brown grounder. I was left.

Curt Brown took over for us on the mound in the 5th.

We scored a couple in the bottom half. First Eddie Milner walked with the bases loaded, scoring Steve Stanicek, then Angel Escobar, pinch hitting for me, singled home Robby.

We ended up winning 9-0.
