We lost to the Cardinals yesterday and we want to get it back today.

The Cards are pitching Danny Cox (7-8, 4.31).

The Giants are countering with Eric Show (8-5, 2.77).

I have done pretty well vs Cox, going 10 for 34, or .294.

I led off the home side by putting one through the right for a single. Stolen base #66. I scored on a Mike Aldrete double.

Giants lead 1-0

They got it back in the 2nd when Oddibe McDowell scored on a Mike Marshall single. We erased Marshall and Ruben Amaro with a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play.

Game tied 1-1

I took care of a Willie McGee grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.
Cox scored on an Andy Van Slyke double.

Cardinals lead 2-1

I led off in the 3rd by lining out to Van Slyke in right.

I handled an Amaro grounder for the 2nd out in the 4th.

I led off in the 5th by grounding out to Amaro at short.

In the 7th Marshall hit a leadoff homer.
I got the 1st out off a fielder's choice by Tom Herr.

Cardinals lead 3-1

I came up with two out in the 7th and I struck out.

Scott Garrelts took over in the 8th.
He loaded the bases with none out but pitched out of it.

We were unable to get any more in and lost 3-1.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a run scored, and a stolen base.
