Today the Padres are pitching out former teammate, Eric King (4-8, 4.00).

The Giants are going with Dave Miller (1-0. 6.00).

I have gone 2 for 8 vs Eric.

The Padres struck in the 1st as Randy Ready scored on a Carmelo Martinez single. It was almost two on the play but Steve Stanicek threw out John Kruk trying to score from 2nd.
I grabbed a Glenn Hubbard pop to end the inning.

Padres lead 1-0

I led off the bottom half by flying out to Scott Parsons in centre.
The rest of the inning went better as Chris Brown came up with the bases loaded and doubled, scoring all three! He ended up crossing on a wild pitch as well.

Giants lead 4-1

I got the 3rd out in the 2nd, catching a Parsons pop.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Brian Giles on 2nd. I grounded out to Martinez at 1st, advancing the runner. Unfortunately he was unable to score.

In the 3rd Tony Gwynn scored on a Ready sac fly.

Giants lead 4-2

I got the 1st out in the 5th, handling a Parsons grounder. Dave ended up walking Kruk with the bases loaded.

Giants lead 4-3

I came up with one out in the 5th and popped out to Ready at 3rd.

The Padres tied it up in the 6th when Darrell Miller took Dave deep. The took the lead when Ready doubled home both King and Gwynn.
That was it for Dave as Nestor went to the 'pen and brought in Mark Clear.

Padres lead 6-4

I got the 3rd out in the 7th, taking an Ozzie Guillen grounder.

I came up with two out in the 7th with Mark Williamson on the mound. I struck out.

Scott Garrelts took over for us in the 8th.
I got him the 1st out in the 9th, off a Ready grounder.
Gwynn scored on a Martinez single. Later Kruk scored on a Guillen triple.

Padres lead 9-4.

And that was it.

Lousy game for the team and me as I went 0 for 4.

Tomorrow is a travel day as we are heading to Atlanta.

All-Star Voting Update!

I am leading at SS! Eck is leading at RP! Chili Davis and Scott Garrelts are getting decent amounts of votes as well!


A lot happened on the off-day. Robby Thompson was activated from the 60-day DL and sent to Phoenix for a rehab assignment.
Dave Miller was also sent to Phoenix and Scott Service was called up.

I like Scott. He is a 20 year old from Cincinnati and this is his first shot in the bigs.
It is nice to have someone close to my age around.
