We beat the Padres yesterday and are going for the sweep in the mini-series.

Today San Diego is pitching Jorge Martinez (7-12, 4.74).

The Giants have Al Leiter (3-3, 5.06).

I am hitting sixth.

In the 1st, Ryan Klesko scored on a Tim Naehring double.

I came up with two out, Tim on 2nd, and Craig Greenback on 1st. I walked.

We left them loaded.

Giants lead 1-0

In the bottom half I caught a Tony Gwynn liner and doubled Chad Curtis off of 2nd to end the frame.

I came up in the 3rd with two out, Ruben Sierra on 2nd, and Tim on 1st. I grounded out to Orlando Merced at 1st.

I returned the favourite by handling a Merced grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 5th.

I led off the 6th by grounding out to Charlie Hayes at 3rd.

We turned a Priske - Naehring - Klesko double play to end the inning.

Jerry Browne led off the 7th with a home run.

Giants lead 2-0

We turned another Priske - Naehring - Klesko double play in the bottom of the 7th.

I led off the 8th, now facing Danny Patterson. I blooped one down the right field line for a double.
Stolen base #73.
I was stranded at 3rd.

I caught a liner by pinch hitter Eric Young for the 1st out in the bottom half.

Jeff Russell took the ball for us in the 9th after Al pitched eight scoreless innings on three hits.
Jeff allowed one hit, but that was it and we had the win.

We have won seven in a row.

I went one for three with a double, a walk, and a stolen base.

Former teammate Harold Baines got his 2000th hit today.

Now we head home to face Atlanta.
