It was Danny Jackson vs Jose Rijo in game 2 Jackson struck out Boone with 2 on and 2 out in the 1st to end that threat and in the bottom half Erstad hit a solo shot to give us the 1-0 lead and that was the score after 2.
In the top of the 2nd, Rijo led off with a single and Bernard doubled him to third. Lugo grounded out scoring Rijo and then Kevin Young hit a 2-run homer to make it 3-1 Giants.
With 1 out in the 3rd, Brown singled and stole second, which become moot when Jefferies hit a 2-tun homer followed by Erstad's 2nd homer of the game and we raced back in front 4-3.
We left 2 on in the 4th and we each left 2 on the 5th before Sheffield led off the 6th with a solo shot to tie it at 4. Following 2 more hits we brought in Jeff Neely, but he walked Rivera and then allowed a 2-run single to Salinas and then a 2-run double to Bernard and we found ourselves behind 8-4.
Carlsen walked to lead off the 7th and with 2 outs Erstad was hit by a pitch and Frias knocked in Carlsen to get us to 8-5. In the 8th Baerga led off with a single and after a Higginson strikeout Cedeno walked and pinch hitter Carlsen singled to load them up. Brown struck out but then Jefferies singled to center scoring Baerga and Cedeno to get us to 8-7. Erstad then walked to bring up cleanup hitter Frias and he lined out to center to end the 8th
In the 9th Baerga singled with 1 out but Higginson rolled into a 4-6-3 double play and once again we find ourselves down 2-0
