Johnny Giavotella did not move for a long time after he struck out swinging to end Sunday's fourth inning with two runners stranded in scoring position.

"I'm just getting off to a slow start," Giavotella said. "I know that I'm a way better hitter than what I've been showing the last couple weeks. But I haven't lost any of my confidence.
