We finish up in Philadelphia today.

The Phillies are pitching Dave Stewart (6-6, 3.05).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (3-6, 4.52).

I have a goose egg for 5 appearances against Stewart.

I am hitting seventh.

I took care of a Bo Jackson grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 1st.

I came up in the 2nd with two out and Alvin Davis on 1st. I dropped a fastball into right for a single. Alvin went to 2nd.
We were left on.

In the bottom half, Darrin Fletcher his a solo bomb.

Phillies lead 1-0

I caught a Jose Vizcaino liner for the last out in the 4th.

I then led off the 5th by flying out to Jackson in right.

I took care of a Craig Paquette grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 5th.
Then John Finn scored on a Stewart single.

Phillies lead 2-0

We got one back in the 6th when Ruben Sierra scored on a single by Alvin.

Phillies lead 2-1

I came up in the 7th with Ryan Klesko on 1st. I grounded out to Vizcaino at 3rd, but advanced the runner.
Ryan ended up scoring on a pinch hit single by Bryce Bernadin. Then Tim Criswell scored on a single by Ruben, giving us the lead.

Giants lead 3-2

Mark Ross took the ball for us in the 7th.

We turned a Thompson - Priske - Davis double play to end the inning.

I came up in the 8th with one out and Mark Lewis on 1st. Hector Fajardo was pitching. I struck out.

With men on the corners and two out in the bottom of the 8th, Matt brought in Bobby Thigpen and Timothy McKercher in a double switch.
He got out of it.

Then, with men on the corners and two out in the 9th, Matt brought in Darryl Scott. One fly ball later, Darryl had his first save and we had the win.

I went 1 for 4 with a single.

Now we head to New York.
