Today the Braves are pitching Len Barker (5-12, 4.99).
The Giants are going with Jeff Robinson (8-8, 4.49).

I am 1 for 3 vs Barker.

After getting the Braves 1-2-3 in the top half, I led off the bottom half. I hit it deep at 3rd and outran Ron Cey's chance to throw me out. Single! Then stolen base #81! I advanced on a Chili Davis fly ball for the 2nd out and was left on 3rd.

In the 2nd Dusty Baker took Jeff deep, giving Atlanta the lead.

Braves lead 1-0.

I made my first defensive play in the 3rd, taking a Gerald Perry grounder for the 2nd out.

In the bottom half I came up with one out and took a walk. Stolen base #82. Stolen base #83. I then scored on a Ken Oberkfell sac fly to tie the game. That is making a difference with speed!

Game tied 1-1.

I finished the top of the 4th by starting a Priske - Castino - Hargrove double play to get Tommy Thompson and Paul Zuvella out.

In the bottom of the 5th I came up with two out and grounded out to Zuvella at 2nd.

I handled the 1st out in the 6th, taking a grounder from Cey. Frank Williams took over for Robinson with two out that frame.

The bottom of the 6th things went well.
Kenny Oberkfell singled and Chili Davis both singled and then moved up on a Rob Deer grounder. They intentionally walked Bob Brenly and then Unintentionally walked Mike Hargrove, scoring Kenny. John Castino singled, scoring Chili. Bob scored on a passed ball and Miek Jones struck out. Lee Mazzili pinch hit for Frank and doubled, scoring two. Steve Bedrosian took over on the mound and struck me out.

Giants lead 6-1!

Curt Brown took over pitching for us in the 7th. Milt Thompson pinch hit for Bedrosian and hit a one-out solo homer.

Giants lead 6-2.

In the 8th I made highlight reel catch, diving to snag a liner by Dusty Baker to end the inning.

In the bottom half I came up with two out and Castino on 2nd and Jones on 1st, facing Jeff Dedmon. I hit one right up the middle for an RBI single! That is 30 RBI for me.

Giants lead 7-2!

Pat Perry took the mound in the 9th. The first batter was Thompson and he grounded out to me. Two batters later we had won 7-2.

Big day for me! 2 for 4 with a pair if singles, a walk, and RBI, a run scored, and 3 stolen bases! On pace for 123!

The Giants are 61-48 and trail the Dodgers by 4 games.
