It was nice to get that Home Opener win. Now let's get another pone to get us back to .500/

Today the Padres are pitching Mike Gardiner (0-0, 1.50).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (0-1, 2.45).

I am hitting seventh.

We took the lead in the 1st when Robby Thompson scored on a Ryan Klesko sac fly.

Giants lead 1-0

They got it back int he top of the 2nd when Junior Felix scored on a Dickie Thon sac fly.

Game tied 1-1

I came up with one out in the 2nd and reached 2nd on a throwing error from Orlando Merced.

I was left there.

In the 4th, Kirt Manwaring scored on a Bill Pecota groundout.

Padres lead 2-1

I came up in the bottom of the 4th with one out and Jerry Browne on 1st. I walked.
Then Alan Cockrell walked, loading the bases.
Rick singled, scoring both Jerry and me.
Alan ended up scoring on a sac fly by Robby.

Giants lead 4-2

In the 5th, Eric Young scored on a Chad Curtis single.
Then Tony Gwynn singled Curtis home to tie the game.
Gwynn scored on a Manwaring single.

With two out and two on, Matt brought in Charles Hudson.
He gave up a two-run double to Pecota.

Padres lead 7-4

I came up in the bottom of the 5th with two out, Craig Grebeck on 3rd, and Jerry on 1st. I blooped one into centre for an RBI single!
Jerry and I were stranded.

Padres lead 7-5

In the 7th, Manwaring singled home Gwynn.
We turned a Priske - Thompson - Klesko double play.

Padres lead 8-5

We switched it up in the 8th and turned a Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play.

I came up with one out in the 8th, now facing Stuart Rogers. I grounded out to defensive replacement Anthony Miller at 1st.

Ted Power took over for us in the 9th.

We dropped this one, 8-5.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a reached-on-error, a run scored, and an RBI.
