We are trying to keep the momentum going again the Phillies today.

Philadelphia is pitching Erik Hanson (9-12, 2.54).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (13-6, 4.20).

I have gone 8 for 25, or .320, with a home run off Hanson.

I am hitting 6th.

The Phils struck first as Jose Vizcaino scored on a Juan Gonzalez sac fly in the 1st.
I took care of a Bo Jackson grounder for the 2nd out.

Phillies lead 1-0

I came up with one out in the 2nd and grounded out to Vizcaino at 2nd.

They struck again in the 4th when Tom Herr crossed on a Craig Paquette triple.
Then Paquette scored on a Steven Finken sac fly.

Phillies lead 3-0

I came up in the 4th with one out and Ryan Klesko on 1st. While I was at the plate, Ryan stole 2nd.
I walked.
We both moved up on a wild pitch.
Tim Naehring walked to load the bases.
We all moved up one, including Ryan scoring, on an Alan Cockrell single.
We were left like that.

Phillies lead 3-1

I came up in the 5th with two out, Harold Baines on 2nd, and Ruben Sierra on 1st. I walked, loading them up.
Harold and Ruben scored and I went to 3rd on a single by Tim.
I scored on a single by Alan.
Tim scored on a double by Scott!

Giants lead 5-3

With one out and a man on in the 6th, Matt brought in Mark Davis.

I came up in the bottom of the 6th with two out, Ruben on 1st, and Clint Jenkins pitching. I lined out to Jackson in left.

I got the 1st out in the 7th off a grounder by pinch hitter, Ricky Jordan.

John Burkett took the ball for us in the 8th.
We also had some defensive moves with Rob Deer, Joel Chimelis, and Tom O'Malley replacing Robby Thompson, Alvin Davis, and Harold.

Things did not go well as Jerry Willard hit a pinch hit, three-run home run.

Gene Nelson took over after that.

Phillies lead 6-5

Rick Sutcliffe relieved in the 9th.

I came up in the bottom of the 8th with now out and Ryan on 1st. Michael Jackson was pitching.
I walked, yet again.
With two out, Alan singled but Ryan was thrown out at the plate, cementing the loss.

I went 0 for 2 with three walks and a run scored.
