Game four of five in Cincinnati. We have gone 2-1 so far.

Today the Reds are pitching Tom Browning (14-6, 3.20).

The Giants have Frank Viola (9-8, 3.50).

Browning is very good but I have gone 17 for 54, or .315, against him.

I am hitting sixth again.

I came up with two out in the 2nd and lined out to Mike Greenwell in right.

We were the first on the board in the 3rd when Alan Cockrell hit a solo shot.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 4th with two out, Ruben Sierra on 3rd, and Alvin Davis on 2nd. I grounded out to Shawon Dunston at short.

I next came up in the 6th with two out and Tim Naehring on 2nd. RBI single!
Stolen base #102.
I was stranded.

Giants lead 2-0

I took care of a Dunston grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 6th.

The Reds got on the board in the 7th when Will Clark scored on a Tim McIntosh single.

Giants lead 2-1

I came up in the 9th with Tim on 1st and Greg Cadaret pitching. I flew out to Eric Davis in centre.

Bobby Thigpen came in for the save. He gave up a leadoff single but got the next three to nail down the win.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, an RBI, and a stolen base.
