We finish up with the Braves today.

They are pitching Phil Leftwich (3-3, 5.59).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (8-4, 4.35).

Leftwich is a rookie and none of us have seen him before.

Both Robby and Tim are aching but still in there.

The Braves struck in the 1st when Jerome Walton scored on a Ken Griffey Jr. single.
I handled a Jeff Blauser grounder to leave Griffey at 1st.

Braves lead 1-0

I led off for our side by grounding out to Jim Thome at short.
The rookie walked the next two guys before Harold Baines clocked a three-run homer.

Giants lead 3-1

I came up with two out in the 2nd and walked on four pitches.
Stolen base #57.
I scored on a Ryan Klesko double.

Giants lead 4-1

I led off in the 4th by grounding out to Thome again.

I came up next in the 6th with one out, Alan Cockrell on 3rd, and Todd Revenig on the mound. For the third time, I grounded out to Thome. I wasn't able to get Alan across.
After me, though, Ryan walked and Ruben Sierra tripled.

Giants lead 6-1

In the 9th, Walton scored on a Thome double.
Jim went to Mark Williamson after that.
Thome scored on a Griffey Jr. double.
He scored on a Gary Sheffield single.

Giants lead 6-4

I came up in the 8th with one out, pinch hitter Dale Murphy on 1st, and John Dodd pitching. I grounded into a fielder's choice.
Stolen base #58.
I was left there.

Bobby Thigpen took the ball for us in the 9th.
He gave up a two out single, but that was all, and we had the win.

I went 0 for 4 with a walk, a run scored, and two stolen bases.

We got an All-Star Voting Update after the game. I am still leading at 3rd. Tim, Frank Viola, and Mark Davis are all on 3rd at their positions.

Now we await the Padres.
