Base hit in the 5th, giants up 21. Also struck out 7. However, the bull pen falters again. Hunter strickland giving up five straight singles in the eighth. Pedro knocks in two and the phillies going on to win it by the final 52. As, first inning check this out. Houston looking more like the bad news bears. Marcus runs to short. He throws it away.

The niners had four first half turnovers and a 3314 loss to the broncos. He was eight of 11, through an interception that wasnt his fault.
