We are on a two game winning streak and wrapping up our series with the Expos.

I am hitting sixth.

I handled a Shane Mack grounder for the 3rd out of the game.

I took care of a Rey Sanchez grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd as well.

I then led off the bottom of the 2nd by grounding out to Scott Cooper at 3rd.

For the 3rd straight inning, I handled a grounder for the 3rd out. This time it was Pavlik's.

In the 4th, Ken Caminiti scored on a Ryan Klesko fielder's choice.
I came up next, with one out and Ryan on 1st. I grounded out to Sanchez at 2nd, advancing Ryan.
He didn't score.

Giants lead 1-0

In the 5th, Antonio Martinez scored on a Craig Grebeck sac fly.

After skipping a couple of innings, I get the 3rd out in the 6th off a Sammy Sosa grounder.

I came up in the bottom of the inning, with two our and Cris Carpenter pitching. I lined a slider into left for a single.
Stolen base #16.

Game tied 4-4

I caught a sky-high pop up by Cooper for the 1st out in the 8th.

With one out and one on, Matt brought in Mark Ross.

I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing Alejandro Pena. Mack made an incredible catch, hitting the wall in centre and robbing me of a double at least.

Mike Perez took the ball for us in the 9th.
I caught a liner by pinch hitter, Pat Bailey, for the 2nd out.

With two out and two on, Matt went to Kip Gross.
Pinch hitter Turner Ward scored on a Cooper single.

Expos lead 5-4

We lost.

8-18. We are tied in last with the Dodgers.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a run scored, and a stolen base.

We now get a day off before the Phillies come to town. I get to spend it with my family and try to get my mind off our dreadful season.
