Going for the sweep in Florida.

Today the Marlins are pitching Scott Kamieniecki (4-2, 5.28).

The Giants have Al Leiter (1-5, 4.60).

I am hitting sixth today.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I walked.
With two out, Antonio Martinez walked, loading the bases.
Al flew out, leaving us all there.

I caught a Chris James liner for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I came up in the 4th with none out and Craig on 2nd. I walked again.
Then Ryan Klesko reached and we loaded the bases on a Randy Milligan error.
We all moved up one base, scoring Craig, on a single by Antonio.
I was thrown out at home on a fielder's choice by Al.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 5th with one out, Craig on 1st, and Tim Naehring on 3rd. I popped out to Mike Bordick at 2nd.
Tim scored on a double by Ryan.

Giants lead 2-0

I handled a Dwight Smith grounder for the last out in the 5th,

I led off the 7th, now facing Julio Valera. I grounded out to Scott Brosius at 3rd.

Kip Gross took the ball for us in the 8th.
We turned a Grebeck - Priske line out double play.

I came up in the 9th with one out, Von Hayes on 2nd, and Darren Holmes pitching. I flew out to Smith in centre.

Mike Perez came it to nab the save.
I got the 2nd out, handling a Tom Lampkin grounder.
Mike threw a perfect inning and we had the shutout win.

We are up to 21-33, after three wins in a row.

I went 0 for 3 with a pair of walks.

We are heading home to take on the Pirates.
