It is the rubber match against the Padres today.

San Diego is pitching Tim Belcher (14-16, 3.47).

The Giants have Frank Viola (15-9, 3.15).

I have gone 7 for 27, or .259, against Belcher.

I am hitting 6th today.

I took care of an Armando Verdugo grounder for the 3rd out int he game.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Ruben Sierra on 2nd.
I grounded out back to Belcher, but I moved Ruben up.
He scored on a Padre error.

Giants lead 1-0

I finished the top of the 3rd with a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Harold Reynolds and Junior Felix.

I took care of Verdugo again, for the 2nd out in the 4th.

I also took care of an Ozzie Guillen grounder for the 2nd out in the 5th.
But then Greg Briley scored on a Belcher double.
I handled a Reynolds grounder for the 3rd out

Game tied 1-1

I led off the bottom of the 5th by striking out.

We scored that inning, though, when Tim Naehring crossed on a double by Frank. Both starters got an RBI!

Giants lead 2-1

In the 6th Ryan Klesko scored on a double by Ruben.
I came up with two out and Ruben still on 2nd. I hit a foul pop.

Giants lead 3-1

Matt brought in a bunch of defensive subs for the 7th. Luis Medina, Rob Deer, and Joel Chimelis entered the game in the corner outfield spots and 1st.
Charlie Hayes scored on a pinch hit single by Carmelo Martinez.

Giants lead 3-2

In the bottom of the 7th, Alan Cockrell scored on a Robby Thompson single.

Giants lead 4-2

I came up with one out in the 8th. Joel was on 1st and Sterling Hitchcock was pitching.
While I was at the plate, Joel was thrown out trying to steal.
I hit one down to the left field corner for a double.
I was stranded.

Bobby Thigpen took the ball for the 9th.
Greg Litton took over at 1st. Mark Lewis came it to play short. Joel shifted to 2nd.

Bobby gave up a double but that was all and we had the win.

I went 1 for 4 with a double.

The Braves clinched our division today. Cleveland and Oakland already clinched in the AL. Only the NL West is still up for the grabs, and the Expos are still in the mix!

We have a day off before the Dodgers come in.
