We have lost two games to kick off a four game set with the Astros.

Today Houston has Arthur Rhodes (5-4, 4.36).

The Giants are going with Charlie Vinson Jr. (4-6, 3.33).

I am hitting seventh.

I handled a Roberto Alomar grounder for the 2nd out, but Tony Phillips scored on the play.

Astros lead 1-0

I came up in the 2nd with two out and Jerry Browne on 1st. I hit one through the right for a single, but Jerry was thrown out trying to go to 3rd.

I took care of a fielder's choice ball by Craig Biggio for the 1st out in the 4th.
We then turned a Thompson - Priske - Lewis double play to end the frame.

I came up in the 5th with one out and Jerry on 1st. I walked.

With two out, Charlie singled, scoring Jerry, but I got thrown out trying to go to 3rd.

Game tied 1-1

With one out and one on in the 8th, Matt brought in Mark Ross.
Felix Jose scored on an Alomar sac fly, to give the Astros the lead back.
I took care of a Biggio grounder for the 3rd out.

Astros lead 2-1

I led off the bottom of the 8th by walking again.
Stolen base #30.
I went to 3rd on a fly out by Alan Cockrell.
Then Tim Naehring walloped a pinch hit home run.
Two batters later, Ruben Sierra his a solo dinger.

Giants lead 4-2

Jeff Russell came in for the 9th.

I took care of a grounder by pinch hitter, Harold Baines, for the 2nd out.

We ended up with the win.

I went 1 for 1 with a single, two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base.
