July 13th, 1985

The Pirates are pitching Jose DeLeon (5-7, 3.26).
We are going with Terry Mulholland (6-6, 5.54).

I have gone 2 for 4 against DeLeon. Another good one for me (small sample size permitting.)

I led off the game by taking a walk from DeLeon. I quickly grabbed stolen base #64 and then advanced to 3rd on a ground out by Kenny Oberkfell. Chili Davis singled, I crossed, and we had the early lead.

Giants up 1-0.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and John Castino on 2nd. I grounded out but at least made it productive, moving John up a bag. Unfortunately he was left there.

I made my first defensive play that inning, taking DeLeon's grounder for the 3rd out.

In the 4th Rob Deer and Bob Brenly hit back-to-back homers! I came up with two out and Mike Aldrete on 3rd and Castino on 2nd, but I flew out.

Giants lead 3-0!

In the bottom half Robin Yount responded with his own solo shot.

Giants lead 3-1.

In the 5th Fred Lynn tied the game with a two-run homer.

Game tied 3-3.

I was lifted for Sixto Lezcano in the 7th.

I think I am really lucky that the team does not have a better choice for short. I do not have the faith of my manager at all.

We lost 4-3.

46-41

We have lost 5 in a row.
