It is always great to get back to Canada, even as the visiting team.

The Giants are bringing Bruce Ruffin (4-4, 3.49).

The Expos have Wally Whitehurst (3-5, 6.92).

In eight at-bats against Whitehurst I have five hits. That is a trend I would like to continue.

I led off the game by lining out to Shane Mack in centre.

I then get the first out on the other side, taking a grounder from Jose Offerman.

In the 2nd Rob Deer was hit by a pitch and ended up scoring on a double play.

Giants lead 1-0

I took care of a Whitehurst grounder to end the 2nd.

I came up with two out in the 3rd and flew out to Chuck Jackson in right.

Chili Davis blasted a two-run homer in the 4th.

Giants lead 3-0

Russ McGinnis led off the home half with a jack of his own.

Giants lead 3-1

I came up in the 5th with two out and Bruce on 1st. I flew out to Mack again.

I came up next with one out in the 8th. Ed Nunez was now pitching. I grounded out to Chris Sabo at 3rd.

In the 9th Ruben Sierra got us some insurance with a two run dinger.

Giants lead 5-1

I got the 1st out in the bottom of the 9th, handling a McGinnis grounder.
Jeff Robinson took over with one out and one on.
He got the next two outs and we had the win.

I went 0 for 4 and I am now hitting .296

The shuttle was going again. Alan Cockrell is back. Greg Litton has gone down.
