We are trying to avoid a sweep, as usual.

Today the Dodgers are pitching Chris Haney (8-10, 4.72).

The Giants have Pat Combs (5-3, 3.73).

I am hitting seventh.

I took care of a Shawn Manuel grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by flying out to Howard Johnson in centre.

I handled a Chili Davis grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.

We turned a Priske - Naehring - Klesko double play to get the other two outs.

I came up in the 5th with two out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I flew out to Johnson again.

In the 6th, Gary Sheffield scored on a wild pitch.

Dodgers lead 1-0

In the 7th, Ron Karkovice scored when I made a great play that turned into a throwing error - my 13th error of the season.

Dodgers lead 2-0

We got on the board int he bottom of the 7th when Tim Naehring scored on a triple by Craig.
I then came up, with two out and Craig on 3rd. I grounded out to Sheffield at 3rd.

Dodgers lead 2-1

Mark Ross came in to pitch the 9th for us.
I took care of another Manuel grounder for the 2nd out.
I did the same to Pat Listach for the 3rd.

We couldn't get that last run and we were swept by the Dodgers.

I went 0 for 3 with an error.

Now the Braves come to town.

Two more days until the Trading Deadline.
