We are in Pittsburgh trying to turn yesterday's win into a streak.

The Pirates are pitching Mark Gubicza (2-5, 4.36).

The Giants have Scott Service (0-3, 3.47).

I am hitting seventh.

I handled a Steve Aarstrom grounder for the last out int he 1st.

I came up in the 2nd with two out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I grounded out to Aastrom at 2nd.

I caught a towering Kevin Bass pop for the last out in the 4th.

I came up in the 5th with one out and Craig on 1st. I outran an infield hit, moving Craig to 2nd.
WIth two out, Scott singled, scoring Craig. I ended at 3rd and Scott went to 2nd on the play at the plate.
Scott and I were left on base.

Giants lead 1-0

Heathcliff Slocumb took the ball for us in the bottom of the 6th.

I came up with one out in the 7th, and dumped a liner into shallow right for a single.
I went to 2nd on a sac bunt by Alan Cockrell.
I got no further.

Ted Power got the nod for us in the 7th.

I caught a pop from pinch hitter Antonio Nellum to lead off the bottom of the 8th.

I came up with one out in the 9th, now facing Doug Jones. I grounded out to Aastrom at 2nd.

Jeff Russell came in for the 9th. He gave up a two out single, but we had the 1-nothing win for the second straight day!

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles.
