Eight games left.

Today we are still in L.A. and the Dodgers are pitching Gregg Langbehn (2-4, 4.89).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (15-10, 3.65).

I am hitting sixth.

I came up with two down in the 2nd and took a walk.
I went to 2nd on a Tim Naehring single.
We were left.

I handled a Bill Spiers grounder for the last out in the 2nd.

In the bottom of the 3rd, Many Fariss scored on a Benito Santiago single - after an error by Tim failed to end the inning.
I made a very good play on a Chili Davis grounder to end the frame.

Dodgers lead 1-0

I came up with two out in the 4th and fouled out to Fariss.

I came up in the 6th with two out and the bases juiced and drew an RBI walk! Tim grounded out after that, but we tied it up.

Game tied 1-1

In the bottom of the inning we turned a Ruffin - Priske - Davis double play.

Tim Wallach led off the bottom of the 7th with a home run.

I took care of a fielder's choice ball by Gene Larkin for the 2nd out in the bottom of the inning.

With two out and two on, Heathcliff Slocumb relieved for us.

Dodgers lead 2-1

In the 8th, Chili scored on a Wallach single.
Then Phil Plantier scored on a wild pitch.
With two out and two on, Matt brought in Tom Kramer.
He got the 3rd out.

Dodgers lead 4-1

I came up with one out in the 9th, now facing Ken Howell. I grounded out to John Wehner at 3rd.

We were unable to score.

I went 0 for 2 with two walks and an RBI.
