Nine times out of 19 games this year we didn't score enough to win, so you can't say much about that record. Larkin blooped a hit to center and kept going, sliding into second with a game-opening double. He took third on Tucker's infield hit and scored on Young's grounder to second. Larkin and Young signed the ball after the game and it is on its way to Cooperstown. Barry Bonds drew the Giants even in the bottom of the third with a two-run home run off Brower, his ninth of the year and 503rd of his career.
Bonds is just a great hitter.
If he takes it, it's a ball. But the guys scored a lot of runs and that makes my job a lot easier. Hey, you look up and down our lineup and people may not know their names, but there are some great hitters in this lineup. LaRue's sacrifice fly in the seventh was the game's last run. We got some hittable pitches from Hernandez we hadn't seen for a few days.
