Baerga and Matt Nokes scored on a Molitor triple.
I caught a McGwire liner to stop the bleeding.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by grounding out to Baerga at 2nd.

I came up next with one out int he 5th and took a four pitch walk.
I was picked off 1st and got caught in a rundown. I did not escape.

I caught a sky-high Molitor pop for the 1st out.

With two out and two on in the 8th, Matt brought in Bryan Hickerson.
I dealt with a Baerga grounder for the 3rd out.

Mark Ross took the ball for the 9th.
I took care of a Molitor grounder for the 2nd out.

I led off the bottom of the 9th, facing Norm Charlton.
I lined out to Baerga.
Ruben Sierra ended up scoring on a single by Jerry, but that was it and we lost, 6-4.

I went 0 for 3 with two walks, an RBI, and a caught stealing.

Too bad we couldn't end our home stand with a win, because we are now heading to Houston.
