Another day under the Dome.

Today the Astros are pitching Victor Sanchez (9-3, 2.08).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (2-4, 4.47).

I am hitting seventh.

The Astros struck first as Tony Phillips scored on a Roberto Alomar fielder's choice in the bottom of the 1st.
Then Jay Bell scored on a Harold Baines groundout.
Alomar scored on a Craig Biggio single.

Astros lead 3-0

I came up with two out in the 2nd and grounded out to John Olerud at 1st.

I next came up with two out in the 5th, now facing Mike Timlin. I walked.
Stolen base #33.
I was left at 2nd.

I handled a Phillips grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 5th.

But then Bell scored on an Alomar single.

Astros lead 4-0

Bryan Hickerson took the ball for us in the 6th.

He ended up walked pinch hitter Dave Gallagher with the bases loaded.
Then Phillips knocked Felix Jose and Daniel Williams in with a single.
Gallagher scored on a Bell double.

Matt had seen enough and brought in Scott Service with one out and two on.
Scott got the outs without giving up another run.

Astros lead 8-0

I led off the 8th, now facing Dave Righetti. I flew out to Baines in left.

We lost.

I went 0 for 2 with a walk and a stolen base.

I wasn't in short company as we only managed one hit as a team.

Ugly.
