Back in my home country, though not exactly shining as a team.
Today the Expos are pitching Steve Avery (0-1, 3.32).

I came up with one out in the 2nd and flew out to Reggie Sanders in right.
I took care of an Israel Seda grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd.
I came up in the 4th with two out and Antonio Martinez on 2nd. I hit an RBI single to left.
I was left on.
Giants lead 1-0
They tied it up int he 5th when Jose Offerman scored on a Michael Urzendowski single.
We turned a Grebeck - Priske - Klesko double play to end the inning.
