Our previous outing against the Padres was not good.

We have another shot at them today.

The Padres are pitching Ed Wojna (4-3, 3.12).

The Giants are going with Willie Fraser (4-10, 3.69).

I got the 2nd out of the game off a Randy Ready grounder.

I led off our half by wearing a Wonja changeup.
I went to 2nd on a Mike Aldrete single.
We were both left on.

I might a nice play on an Ozzie Guillen liner for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by walking on seven pitches.
Stolen base #128
I went to 3rd on another single by Mike.
Chili Davis then put one in the right field seats! Home run!
One out later, Jim Presley also homered!

Giants lead 4-0

They got on the board in the 4th as Ready scored on a Tony Gwynn sac fly.
I took care of an Armando Verdugo grounder for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 4-1

I came up with two out in the 4th and reached on an infield single.
I was left.

In the 5th Chili scored on an error.

Giants lead 5-1

I took care of a Ready grounder for the 3rd out in the 6th.

I led off the bottom half, now facing Gregory Sillivent. I grounded out to Guillen at short.

In the 7th Gwynn scored on a Guillen groundout.
I handled a Carmelo Martinez grounder for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 5-2

In the 8th I started a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to get pinch hitter Dwayne Murphy and Luis Lopez.
Scott Garrelts took over for us after Willie gave up a hit, but he got the 3rd out.

I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing Mark Williamson.
I struck out.
Scott got two outs in the 9th but also allowed a couple of base runners so Jim went to Mark Davis. He got the last guy for the save and we had the 5-2 win.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Now the Braves are coming to town.
