We have come out of the trading deadline on a six game losing streak and in dead last.

Today the Braves are pitching Jimmy Key (9-9, 3.82).

The Giants have Charlie Vinson Jr. (7-10, 3.08).

I am hitting seventh.

We got off to a good start in the bottom of the 1st.

With one out, Ryan Klesko doubled.
With two out, Tim Naehring walked.
Jerry Browne singled, scoring Ryan.
Craig Grebeck singled, scoring Tim.
I walked.
Timothy McKercher singled, scoring Jerry.

Giants lead 3-0

I took care of a Jim Thome grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

In the 3rd, Ron Gant scored on a single by Ken Griffey Jr.

Giants lead 3-1

I came up in the bottom of the 3rd with two out and Jerry on 2nd. I grounded out to Randy Ready at 2nd.

In the 4th, Timothy scored on a single by Mark Lewis.

Giants lead 4-1

I led off in the 6th by striking out.

With one out and a man on in the 7th, Matt brought in Bryan Hickerson.
Two batters later, I made my 15th error of the year to load the bases.
Bryan pitched out of it.

In the bottom of the inning, Tim scored on an error.
I came up with Jerry on 2nd, and Craig on 1st. I singled, scoring Jerry.

Scott Service took the ball for us in the 9th.
Three batters later we had broken our losing streak.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, an RBI, and an error.
