After yesterday's nice win we have the Braves again.

Atlanta is pitching Brian Holton (9-6, 3.08).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (9-9, 3.57).

I have not done well against Holton. 0 for 5.

I am hitting sixth.

We scored in the 1st when Robby Thompson crossed on a Dale Murphy single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off in the 2nd by working a walk.
With one out, stolen base #122.
Then #123.
I scored on an Alan Cockrell groundout.

Giants lead 2-0

In the 3rd, Harold Baines smacked a three-run homer!
I came up with none out - now facing John Dodd. I grounded out to Jim Thome at short.

Giants lead 5-0

In the 4th the train kept going as Ryan Klesko hit a two-run dinger.
I came up with two out and two on but lined out.

Giants lead 7-0

The Braves finally got on the board in the 7th when Ken Griffey Jr, crossed on a Ron Gant double.
I handled a Gary Sheffield grounder for the 1st out.

Giants lead 7-1

I led off the bottom of the 7th, now facing Jack Hardy. I walked again.
Stolen base #124 and an extra base when Tony Pen threw it away.
With two out, Bruce walked.
I scored on a wild pitch by Norm Charlton.

Giants lead 8-1

With one out and one on in the 8th, Matt brought in Rod Nichols.
Pinch hitter Jeff Bagwell scored on a Griffey sac fly.
I took care of an Andres Galarraga grounder of the 3rd out.

Giants lead 8-2

In the bottom of the 8th, Harold hit ANOTHER three-run homer!
I was lifted for a pinch hitter after that, with the game well in-hand.

We won, 11-2.

I went 0 for 2 with a pair of walks, two runs scored, and three stolen bases.

Tomorrow is a travel day and we are headed to Houston.
