July 30th, 1985

After that great win yesterday, the team is pretty hyped up. We lost Jeff Leonard, which is too bad, but it is nice to see Rob Deer back up. He belongs here, for sure.

Today we are pitching Mike Krukow (10-8, 3.67).
The Dodgers are going with Jerry Koosman (10-3, 4.05).

I have yet to face Koosman.

I led off the game by striking out. Koos is tough!

I made the first out in both halves of the inning as I snagged a nasty grounder by Steve Sax.

I came up next in the 3rd, with one out. I have felt better at the plate lately and this time... yeah. Home run #4. Wooooo! Later that inning Lee Mazzilli hit a two-run double, scoring Chili Davis and Bob Brenly. Then he scored on a Ken Oberkfell single.

Giants lead 4-0!

The Dodgers struck back in the bottom half as Sax singled home Dave Anderson. Sax thens tole 2nd and when he tried streaking 3rd, Brenly threw it away, allowing him to score. Bob actually made two errors that inning. Unusual for him.

Giants still up 4-2.

I came up the next inning with two out. I grounded out to Sax at 2nd.

In the 5th Chili and Brenly hit back-to-back bombs!

Giants up 6-2!

Oops. In the bottom half Mike Marshall smacked a three-run bomb to bring the Dodgers within one. Then R.J. Reynolds knocked Darrell Evans home to tie it up. I got Candy Maldonado for the 2nd out but Reynolds scored. You know it is bad inning when their pinch-hitter gets up twice. Krukow even walked in a run before getting pulled for Frank Williams. He immediately gave up a two-run single to Marshall (giving him 5 RBI of the inning). Brenly made his third throwing error of the game and Sax scored. Then Hargrove made an error and Marshall scored.
TEN RUNS SCORED FOR L.A. that inning.

Dodgers lead 12-6.

I came up in the 6th with nobody out and Frank Williams on 1st, now facing Jerry Reuss. I flew out to Marshall in right.

I handled a Dave Anderson grounder for the 3rd out in the bottom half.

Chili hit his second homer in the 7th.

Dodgers lead 12-7.

I came up facing Randy Lerch in the 8th. Two out and nobody on. I hit it into the right field corner for a double. I was stranded there.

Pat Perry took over as hurler. He gave up a two-run double to pinch hitter Rich Dauer. I took a Marshall grounder for the last out.

Dodgers won 14-7.

I good day for me at the plate (2 for 5 with a double and a homer), but a real bad day for us as a team.

That was an ugly inning.

55-46
