We finish up with the Padres today as we try to break a four game losing streak.
San Diego is pitching Butch Henry (5-0, 3.02).

I am hitting seventh.
I came up in the 2nd with one out and Jerry Browne on 2nd. I struck out.
In the 3rd, Eric Young scored on a Tony Gwynn double.
Padres lead 1-0
We got it back in the bottom of the 3rd when Pat scored on a Ruben Sierra double.

We turned a Thompson - Priske - Lewis double play to end the top of the 4th.
I came up in the bottom of the 4th with one out and Jerry on 2nd. I grounded out to Dickie Thon at short, moving Jerry to 3rd.
He did not score.
In the 5th, Charlie Hayes hit a two run homer.

We answered back with a homer by Ruben, but it was a solo shot.

I handled a Thon gronder for the 1st out in the 7th.
I caught a Young pop for the 3rd out.
Mark Ross took over for us in the 8th.

We have a travel day as we head to Atlanta.
As if I wasn't grumpy enough.
