It feels good to actually be notching some wins. We are on a four game roll.

We are going for the sweep in San Diego today.

The Padres are pitching Tim Belcher (14-5, 2.83).

The Giants have John Burkett (6-15, 3.84).

I am hitting fifth.

I led off the 2nd by working a walk.
I went to 2nd on a Craig Grebeck sac bunt.
That was as far as I got.

I dealt with an Eric Young grounder for the last out in the inning.

I came up in the 3rd with two out, Mark Lewis on 3rd, Ruben Sierra on 2nd, and Bryce Bernadin on 1st. I grounded out.

I then came up in the 5th with two out, Bryce on 2nd, and Ryan Klesko on 1st. I flew out to Chad Curtis in left.

Next I led off the 8th by being clipped by a Belcher slider.
Stolen base #58.
With one out, Tim Naehring walked.
Double steal!
We both scored on a Timothy McKercher single (with a little help from a Junior Felix error).
Timothy scored on a single by John!

Giants lead 3-0

I came up in the 9th with Ryan on 1st and Stuart Rogers pitching.
I reached on an infield single moving Ryan to 2nd.
Craig walked to load the bases.
Ryan scored on a sac fly by Tim. I went to 3rd.
I scored on a single by Timothy.
Craig and Timothy scored on a single by Jesse Barfield, who had replaced Mark in the 8th on some defensive moves.

Giants lead 7-0

Three batters later, John had a complete game shut out and we had won our fifth in a row!

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.

We have travel day now as we head to Cincinnati.
