Lance Niekro got the start at 1B and played the entire game. He had a very good day, going 3 for 4, only a triple away from the cycle. He scored 2 runs and knocked in 1 run. Lance had probably the best 2 ABs of the day. In the 2nd inning he worked a 10 pitch AB into a double. In the 7th, he made his only out of the game, but not before reaching a full-count, fouling a couple of pitches off and working a good 9 pitch AB.
