We got a big win yesterday. Let's keep it rolling.

Today the Astros are pitching Manny Hernandez (2-0, 1.29).

The Giants have Bob Walk (8-10, 4.27).

I have gone 9 for 40, or .225 against Hernandez.

I am hitting clean-up.

I came up in the 1st with one out, Robby Thompson on 3rd, and Alvin Davis on 1st. I did the worst possible thing and hit into a double play.

We struck in the 2nd when Tim Naehring hit a two run homer. Then Alan Cockrell scored on a single by Robby.

Giants lead 3-0

They did something they couldn't do yesterday and also scored when Jim Edmonds and Feliz Jose crossed on a double by Hernandez.

Giants lead 3-2

I came up in the 3rd with Ryan Klesko on 1st. While I was at the plate, he was thrown out trying to steal.
I walked.
Stolen base #125.
I scored on a Harold Baines single.

Giants lead 4-2

I took care of a Craig Worthington grounder for the final out in the inning.

I came up in the 4th with two out, Alvin on 2nd, and Ryan on 1st. I walked, loading the bases.
Harold cleared us up with a double.

Giants lead 7-2

I took care of a Jose grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.
I then did the same to pitcher Dave Haas for the 2nd out.

We got a couple more in the 5th when Alan scored on groundout by Robby and then Bob scored on a groundout by Alvin.

Giants lead 9-2

In the bottom of the 5th I took care of a Glenn Davis grounder for the 2nd out.

I led off the 6th against Haas. I walked again.
Stolen base #126.
I was left there.

Scott Garrelts took the mound for us in the 7th.

I handled a Craig Biggio grounder for the last out in the inning.

I came up with two out in the 8th. Jeff Heathcock was pitching. I hit one to left centre for a triple!
I was awarded home when Heathcock was called for a balk.

Giants lead 10-2

Phil Ouellette was in for Alvin at 1st.
In the bottom of the 8th, Edmonds hit a two run homer.
Then Clay Bellinger did the exact same thing.

Matt brought in Mark Williamson along with Joel Chimelis at 1st and Rob Deer in right on a triple switch.

Giants lead 10-6

In the 9th, Tim answered with a homerun.

Giants lead 11-6

I took care of a Biggio grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 9th.

After a mini-scare in the 8th, we grabbed the win.

I went 1 for 2 with a triple, three walks, three runs scored, and two stolen bases.
