We are finishing up in Atlanta today.

The Giants are going with Eric Show (6-5, 2.84).

The Braves are pitching Tom Glavine (6-6, 3.62).

I have done decently well against Glavine, going 9 for 33, or .273, with a home run.

I kicked off the game by outrunning a dribbler back to Glavine for an infield single. I advanced to 2nd on a Mike Aldrete single. I went to 3rd on a double play by Chili Davis. That's as far as I got.

In the 2nd I made a pretty good play to turn a hit into a groundout by Ken Griffey Sr. for the 1st out.
Later that frame, Jeff Blauser scored on a Nelson Santovenia single.

Braves lead 1-0

I came up with one out in the 3rd and struck out.

I took care of a Milt Thompson grounder for the 1st out in the bottom half.

The 4th went pretty well for us.

With one out, Rob Deer singled.
Ruben Sierra singled.
Robby Thompson hit into a fielder's choice, moving Rob to 3rd but now there were two out.
Alan Cockrell singled, scoring Rob.
Brian Giles doubles, scoring Robby and Alan.
Eric singled, scoring Brian.
I doubled, scoring Eric.
Mike walked and both of us were left on.

Giants lead 5-1

In the bottom half I started a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to get Brad Komminsk and Santovenia.

I got the 1st out in the 5th off a Gary Sheffield grounder.

I came up with one out in the 6th, now facing Marty Clary. I flew out to Milt Thompson in right.

I got the last out in the inning off a Komminsk grounder.

I came up in the 8th with two out and Alan on 3rd. Ken Dayley was pitching. I grounded out to Andres Galarraga at 1st.

In the bottom half Ron Gant hit a solo homer.
I got the 3rd out off a Blauser grounder.

Giants lead 5-2

Mark Davis came in to close things out in the 9th.
I got him the 1st out, handling a Komminsk grounder. Santovenia walked but Jerome Walton hit into a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to end the game.

I went 2 for 5 with a pair of singles and an RBI.

Tomorrow is a day off as we head home to face the Pirates.

In time for that game, Alan Cockrell is heading back to Phoenix and Greg Litton is rejoining us.
