The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (4-10, 3.84).

I am hitting second! I have batted in every spot in the order this season, but other than pinch hitting in the 9th spot, #2 is where I have played the least.

Ruben Sierra singled, scoring Mark and sending me to 3rd.
I scored on a Tim Naehring groundout.

I then handled a Tony Gwynn grounder for the 3rd out.

I came up with two out in the 2nd and took a walk.
Stolen base #56.
I scored on a single by Ruben.

Stolen base #57.
With two out, Tim walked.
We were stranded.

I caught a Charlie Hayes pop up for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.

In the 5th, Jesse Barfield hit a two run homer.
