Is this the turning point?

We can start by beating the Braves.

They are pitching Tom Glavine (0-1, 1.98).

The Giants have Bryan Hickerson (0-0, 3.60).

I am leading off.
While I like that, I am also kind of fatigued.
I am happy to play through it, though.

I handled a Jeff Blauser grounder for the first out of the game.

I led off the home half of the 1st by popping out to Andujar Cedeno at 2nd.

We turned a Priske - Grebeck - Klesko double play in the 3rd.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by popping out again. This time it was to Jim Thome at 3rd.

We opened the scoring in the 4th, in a surprising way, as Bryan hit a two out triple to score Tim Naehring.

I came up next and grounded out to Jeff Bagwell at 1st.

Giants lead 1-0

We turned a Grebeck - Priske - Klesko double play in the 5th.

In the bottom of the inning, Craig hit a two run homer.

Giants lead 3-0

I handled a Bagwell grounder to end the top of the 6th.

And then did the same to a Jack Daugherty grounder to end the top of the 7th.

I led off the bottom half by popping out for a third time - this one to Cedeno again.

I took care of another Blauser grounder, this time for the 2nd out in the 8th.

Mike Perez came in to shut things down in the 9th, and he did just that.

We had the shutout win!

3-7. 2.5 games behind the Braves in 1st, and tied with the Dodgers in last.

I went 0 for 4. I should listen to my body.
