Let's see if we can turn that win into a winning streak.

Today the Expos are pitching Steve Avery (5-3, 3.22).

The Giants have Frank Viola (5-3, 2.45).

I have done very well in limited action against Avery, going 5 for 8. I am still limping today, though.

I led off the home side by striking out.
Two batters later, Robby Thompson launched a two-run banger!

Giants lead 2-0

In the 2nd we turned a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Dave Parker and Rich Gedman to end the inning.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Mike Aldrete on 2nd. I grounded out to Chris Sabo at 3rd.
Miek scored on a Ryan Klesko single.

Giants lead 3-0

In the 3rd I made by 4th error of the season, allowing Gary Reds to reach on what should have been a double play ball.
That led to Patrick Abbatiello scoring on a Jose Offerman sac fly.

Giants lead 3-1

I led off in the 5th and grounded out to Pedro Guerrero at 1st.

I came up next with one out in the 7th. My futility continued with a strike out.

With a two run lead, Mark Davis came in to pitch the 9th.
Three up, three down and we had the win.

Nice, but I still went 0 for 4 with an error.

Not how I want to play with my family here.
Or ever.

I woke up with my leg feeling better, though. No more excuses. Let's get it going.
