We don't want to get back to our home opener in a big hole. We need to turn it around.

Today the Braves are pitching Danny Jackson.

The Giants have John Burkett (0-1, 1.17).

I am hitting fifth.

I made a great diving catch on a Ron Gant liner for the 1st out in the bottom of the 1st.

Before the inning was up, however, Jeff Blauser scored on a Gene Larkin single.

Braves lead 1-0

I led off the 2nd by striking out.

I next came up with one out in the 4th and drove one into right for a single.
I went to 3rd on a Craig Grebeck single plus a Larkin error.
Craig and I both scored on an Alvin Davis single.

Giants lead 2-1

I handled a Jeff Bagwell grounder for the last out in the 5th.

I then came up with one out in the 6th. I took a four pitch walk.
Stolen base #3.
I went to 3rd on a groundout by Craig, but was left there.

In the 7th Jerry Browne scored on a Robby Thompson single.

Giants lead 3-1

In the bottom of the 7th, however, Ken Griffey Jr. hit a three run homer.

With two out and a man on, Matt brought in Heathcliff Slocumb.
I got him the 3rd out off a Larkin grounder.

Braves lead 4-3

I led off the 8th, now facing Larry Casian. I drilled one to left for a single.
I went to 2nd on a groundout by Craig.
Stolen base #4.
I was left at 3rd again.

We were unable to score in the 9th and lost again.

We are 1-4.

I went 2 for 3 with a pair of singles, a walk, a run scored, and two stolen bases.

I am currently batting .412.
