August 20th, 1985

We are in New York to face the Mets.

They have Dwight Gooden (11-4, 2.30) on the mound.

We are going with Jeff Robinson (8-9, 4.51).

Obviously Doc is a beast, but I have gone 2 for 4 against him.

Let's find out as I lead off the game...

Uh, Gooden struck me out.

I came up next in the 3rd, with two out and the bases empty. I grounded out to Wally Backman at 2nd

I made my first defensive play that inning, getting a lucky bounce off a Gooden grounder for the 2nd out. Shortly after that back to back doubles by Lenny Dykstra and Backman put the Mets on the board. Hubie Brooks grounded out to me to end it.

Mets lead 1-0.

In the 6th I came up with two out and nobody on again. We still didn't have a hit. I didn't change that, grounding out to Cesar Cedeno at 1st.

I got the 3rd out in the bottom half off another Hubie grounder.

Chili Davis finally erased the Golden no-hitter in the 7th, but we still remained scoreless.

Despite pitching great, Jeff Robinson ran out of steam with two out in the 7th and gave way to Mark Davis. He couldn't hold the inherited runner as Cedeno knocked Mike Fitzgerald across.

Mets lead 2-0

Things went better in the 8th. Mike Hargrove and Mike Jones singled and Chris Brown pinch hit with one out. He also singled, scoring Hargrove. I was up next and I... struck out.

Mets lead 2-1

Scott Garrelts entered for us after that. He tried to hold it there but to no avail. Dykstra crossed on a Backman single.

Mets lead 3-1.

We need to score 2 run before making 3 outs against the league saves leader, Roger McDowell.
We start it off right, with Chili working a walk. Rob Deer singles, moving Chili into scoring position. Bob Brenly flies out and Chili moves to 3rd. Hargrove doubled and scored both Chili and Deer!

Game tied 3-3!

Ron Davis took over pitching duties, trying to push in ti the 10th. Three batters later, he had done just that.

I was set to lead off the 10th, but Nestor went with Brian Harper. I can't blame him. I have been cold as ice lately.

We ended up scoring in the SIXTEENTH when John Rabb singled and Mike Jones knocked him home with a triple.

Giants lead 4-3.

But in the bottom of the 16th Dave Magadan led off with a double. One out later Dykstra doubled, tying the game back up. Curt Brown intentionally walked Backman but Kevin Mitchell singled home Dykstra and the Mets had won, 5-4.

62-56

Bad result for us. Bad day for me.
