We are trying to sweep the mini-series.

The Dodgers are pitching Mike Witt (9-5, 4.34).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (8-4, 3,50).

I have gone 17 for 48, or .354, against Witt. I am hitting 7th.

Kent Hrbek led off the bottom of the 1st with a homerun.

I handled a Phil Plantier grounder for the 1st out.

Dodgers lead 1-0

I came up with two out in the 2nd and dumped one into right for a single.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

I took care of a Bill Spiers grounder for the final out in the 2nd.

In the top of the 3rd, Alan Cockrell scored on a Robby Thompson double.

Game tied 1-1

Alvin Davis led off the 4th with a homer.

I came up with one out and Ryan Klesko on 1st. I drove one up the middle for a single, pushing Ryan to 3rd.
Stolen base #36.
They gave Alan the intentional walk, loading the bags.
Ryan scored on a sac fly by Bruce. I went to 3rd.
Alan and I were left on.

Giants lead 3-1

I led off the 6th by flying out to Phil Plantier in centre.

With one out and a man on 2nd in the bottom of the 7th, Matt brought in Scott Service.

Pinch hitter Dave Hollins ended up scoring on a single by Plantier, with a little help from an error by Ruben Sierra in right.

Giants lead 3-2

I came up in the 8th with Ryan on 1st and Bryan Harvey on the mound. I flew out to Brian McRae in left.

Ryan ended ups coring on a Robby Thompson double.

Giants lead 4-2

Darryl Scott took the ball for us in the bottom of the 8th.

I took care of a fielder's choice ball by pinch hitter Gene Larkin for the 1st out.
Larkin scored on a McRae single.

Giants lead 4-3

Bobby Thigpen took the hill for us in the 9th.
He gave up one hit but got the save.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of single, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.

We are back to .500, 36-36.

Travel day as we head to San Diego.
