As we approach the September call-ups, we have a three game set at home against the Mets.

The visitors are pitching Kevin Appier (13-11, 3.38).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (7-10, 3.54).

I am hitting sixth.

I got the 3rd out of the game off a Benito Santiago grounder.

In the bottom of the 1st, Mark Lewis and Ruben Sierra scored on a Jerry Browne single.
I fouled out to the catcher.

Giants lead 2-0

They got them back in the Top of the 2nd when Kevin Mitchell doubled home Mike Gallego and Appier.

Game tied 2-2

I handled a Chris Sabo grounder for the 3rd out in the 3rd.

Alan Trammell led off the 4th with a homer.
Then Gallego scored on a Mitchell sac fly.
I took care of a Lenny Dykstra grounder for the 3rd out.

Mets lead 4-2

I came up with one out in the bottom of the inning and took a walk.
I went to 2nd on a Tim Naehring single and 3rd on a Timothy McKercher fielder's choice.
We were left at the corners.

Greg Vaughn led off the 6th with a homer.

Matt went to Bryan Hickerson after that.

Wally Joyner scored on a Santiago single.

Mets lead 6-2

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 6th. I walked again.
Stolen base #65.
Tim then walked.
We were stranded.

In the 7th we turned a Priske - Naehring - Lewis double play.

Mike Perez took the ball for us in the 8th.

I came up again with two out in the bottom of the 8th. I hit one off the fence in right centre for a triple.
I was left on. Again.

Scott Service took the mound for us in the 9th.

Chris Sabo led off with a home run.

Mets lead 7-2

And that is how it ended.

I went 1 for 2 with a triple, two walks, and a stolen base.
