Today the Braves are pitching Robert Faron (3-6, 5.43).

The Giants have Terry Mulholland (5-3, 4.01).

Faron is another new pitcher for us.

I got my first chance in the 1st but dropped a Gary Sheffield grounder! Error!
We made up for it with a Thompson - Priske - Deer double play to get Sheffield and Ron Oester.

I led off the home half by hitting one down the left field line for a double! Chris Brown walked behind me. With one out Mike Aldrete walked to load 'em up. With two out Robby Thompson singled, scoring me and Chris!

Giants lead 2-0.

I nabbed an Andres Galarraga liner for the 1st out.

I came up in the 2nd with two out ate a Faron fastball. Chris singled, moving me up a bag. We stopped there.

In the 3rd Bob Brenly singled home Mike Aldrete from 2nd!

Giants lead 3-0.

Things went bad for Terry in the 4th, culminating with a bases loaded walk to Brad Komminsk. We got out of it when Tommy Thompson hit into a Thompson - Priske - Deer double play.

Giants lead 3-1.

I came up in the bottom half with one out and I singled up the middle. I picked up stolen base #44! Then I picked up stolen base #45! Then Chris Brown put one in the seats! Home run!

Giants lead 5-1.

I finished off the top of the 5th with a Priske - Thompson - Deer double play, getting Milt Thompson and Sheffield.

I led off the home half of the 6th, now facing Ed Vande Berg. I grounded out to Oester at 2nd.

In the 7th Brenly smacked a solo shot!

Giants lead 6-1.

After Terry walked Sheffield with one out in the 8th, Nestor called in Mike Perez (and Tom O'Malley for Rob Deer.)

In the bottom half Ben Oglivie pinch hit for Mike, hit a double, but then had to be taken out of the game with something wrong with his leg. Dan Driessen came in as pinch runner. I was in, facing Jeff Dedmon. I got thumped again! What the hell! Chris Brown hit into a double play so I was out of there. Driessen went to 3rd but was left.

Pat Perry came in to pitch the 9th. Three outs later we had the 6-1 win!

Another strong game for me! 2 for 3 with a single, a double, two stolen bases, two runs scored... and two hit-by-pitches.

37-20.

Oh boy. When it seemed like Atlee Hammaker was going to come off his rehab assignment... he tore his UCL. He is done. For a year.

We also don't know how bad Ben O is.
