Giants go up in flames once again
San Francisco Chronicle – Jun 20, 2005

Alou had penned a lineup borrowed from the 2004 Fresno Grizzlies that included an all-rookie outfield of Linden, Jason Ellison and Adam Shabala, with fellow rookie Lance Niekro at first base.

Shabala hit a two-run single for his first big-league hit, Niekro hit a two-run homer in the fifth to tie the game 4-4, and Linden gave the Giants that 8-5 lead in the ninth with his second big-league homer. “Maybe we showed Felipe we can go out and compete a little bit,” Shabala said. “We’re not going to be in the lineup every day, but maybe we let him know he has young guys who can come off the bench and play the game the way he wants it to be played and help the team win.
