Playing in Philadelphia. We haven't been playing great lately.

I haven't been playing great lately.

The Phillies are pitching John Denny (4-7, 4.13).

The Giants have Scott Sanderson (9-8, 3.01).

I have gone 3 for 15 against Denny.

I opened the game by grounding out to Jose Vizcaino at short.

In the bottom half, Vizcaino and Tom Herr scored on a Bo Jackson double.
Then Jackson scored on a Dwight Evans single.

Phillies lead 3-0

We got one back in the 2nd when Robby Thompson took one out.

Phillies lead 3-1

I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Vizcaino again.

We evened things up in the 4th when Rob Deer and Robby scored on a Tim Naehring double.

Game tied 3-3

I handled a Denny grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 4th.

I led off the 5th by fouling out to catcher, Darrin Fletcher.

Jackson led off the bottom of the 5th with a home run.

Phillies lead 4-3

I took care of a fielder's choice ball by Jackson for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 6th.

I came up in the 7th with two out and Bob Brenly on 1st. I grounded out to Herr at 2nd.

Mark Williamson took the mound for us in the 7th.
Evans scored on a double by pinch hitter Mike LaValliere.
Then he scored on a single by Vizcaino.

Phillies lead 6-3

And that is how it stayed. Another loss for us and another bad game for me.
I went 0 for 4.
