The Braves are in town. We have lost four in a row. Atlanta has lost six in a row.

The visitors are pitching Ben McDonald (8-12, 4.56).

The Giants are going with Rick Sutcliffe (4-9, 3.75).

I am hitting... third? Okay. I will take it.

I took care of a Ken Griffey Jr. grounder for the 3rd out of the game.

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 1st and I snuck one through the right side for a single.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

I got the 1st out in the 3rd off a Chris Gwynn grounder.

I then did the same to Ron Gant for the 1st out in the 4th.

I led off the bottom of the 4th by lining it into centre for a single.
Stolen base #50.
With one out, Tim Naehring was hit by a pitch.
Craig Grebeck hit into a double play.

I should have made the 1st out for the 4rd straight inning, but instead, error.
Jeff Bagwell - on from my error - scored on a Joey Cora single.
I caught a Gwynn pop for the 2nd out.

Braves lead 1-0, and it is on me.

I got a Gant grounder for the 1st out in the 6th.

I then came up with one out in the bottom of the 6th. I flew out to Gant in left.

I caught a McDonald pop for the 2nd out in the 7th.
Gant then crushed a three-run homer.

Braves lead 4-0

In the 8th, Bagwell scored on a Mike Scioscia single.
Scott Service relieved for us after that.

Braves lead 5-0

I came up in the bottom of the 8th with two out, pinch hitter Shawon Dunston on 2nd, and Bryce Bernadin on 1st. I grounded out to Jeff Blauser at short.

Mike Perez took the ball for us in the 9th.
We turned a Naehring - Priske - Klesko double play behind him.

We ended up shut out.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, a stolen base, a caught stealing, and an error.
