That's two in a row. Going for three.

Today the Pirates are pitching Bill Kruger (3-2, 3.94).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (1-4, 5.52).

I am hitting seventh.

We lost our scoreless streak right away when Dean Palmer crossed in the 1st, off a Steve Aarstrom single.
I caught a Sid Bream poo to end the inning.

Pirates lead 1-0

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Jerry Browne on 1st. I hit into a double play.

I handled a Palmer grounder for the final out in the 3rd.

I led off the 5th by taking a walk.
With one out and moved to 2nd on a sac bunt by Rick.
I was left on.

We turned a Lewis - Priske - Lewis double play in the bottom of the inning.

We had a 6th inning that was less common the last few days. Ruben Sierra scored on a Ryan Klesko double. Robby Thompson scored on a Craig Grebeck single. Ryan scored on a sac fly by Jerry.
I replaced Craig with a fielder's choice but was then caught stealing.

Giants lead 3-1

I caught a Lee Stevens pop for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 6th.

We turned a Priske - Thompson - Morris double play in the 7th, but Sid Bream scored on the play.

Giants lead 3-2

In the 8th, Robby tripled then scored on a sac fly by Ryan.
With two out, Craig on 3rd, and Jerry on 2nd, I came up. I singled, scoring Craig. Then Jerry scored and I went to 2nd on a throwing error by Kevin Bass.
I went to 3rd on an error by Palmer.
I was left there.

Giants lead 6-2

I made a great play on a Bip Roberts grounder to get the 1st out in the bottom of the 8th.

Rick ended up with the complete game win!

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, two RBI and a caught stealing.

Three wins in a row!
