So we won yesterday, but we are still the worst team in the National League.
We are in St. Louis. Today the Cardinals are pitching Sergio Iglesias (11-7, 3.04).
The Giants have going with John Burkett (8-17, 3.26).
I am hitting seventh.
I came up with one out in the 2nd and struck out.
In the bottom half we turned a Lewis - Priske - Lewis double play.
We opened the scoring in the 3rd when John scored on a Ruben Sierra sac fly.
Giants lead 1-0
I came up in the 4th with one out and Jerry Browne on 2nd. I flew out to Lance Johnson in right.
In the 5th I started a Priske - Grebeck - Lewis double play.
The Cards evened it up in the 6th when Iglesias scored on a Johnson double.
Game tied 1-1
(Both runs scored by the respective pitchers.)
I came up with one out in the 7th and I worked a walk.
I was left at 1st.
In the 8th, Johnson scored on a single by Luis Gonzalez.
Then Terry Pendleton scored on a Bernie Williams single.
Cardinals lead 3-1
I came up in the 9th with one out, pinch hitter Aaron Morris on 1st, and Scott Lawrence pitching. I flew out to Gonzalez on left.
We did not score.
I went 0 for 3 with a walk.
