Still In Philly, trying to break our five game losing streak.

Today the Phillies are pitching Melido Perez (1-2, 6.04).

The Giants have Charlie Vinson Jr. (2-3, 3.26).

I am hitting fifth again.

We got the first two outs in the bottom of the 1st off a Thomson - Priske - Klesko double play.
But then Dave Hollins scored on a Juan Gonzalez double.

Phillies lead 1-0

I came up with one out in the 2nd and grounded out to Randy Milligan at 1st.

I handled a Joe Girardi grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I caught a Ryne Sandberg pop for the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd.
I then took care of a fielder's choice ball by Jeff Carter for the 2nd out.

I next came up with to out in the 4th and I flew out to Carter in centre.

We turned a Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play to end the 5th.

I came up with one out in the 7th and flew out to Carter again.

With two out and a man on in the bottom of the 7th, Matt brought in Bryan Hickerson. He gave up a two run homer to Sandberg.

Phillies lead 3-0

Pat Combs took the ball in the 8th.
Gonzalez scored on a two out triple by Girardi.

Phillies lead 4-0

Things swung pretty fast when the 3rd batter for us in the top of the 9th - Bryce Bernadin - hit a three run homer!
I came up with one out and Alejandro Pena on the mound. I flew out to Carter AGAIN.

We got it close, but lost, 4-3. Six losses in a row.

I went 0 for 4.
