August 25th, 1985

Back it after a tough day yesterday.
We are pitching Jeff Robinson (8-9, 4.42).
The Phillies are pitching John Denny (8-10, 4.54).

I am 1 for 4 vs Denny.

Make that 1 for 5 as I grounded out to Rick Schu at 1st to open the game.

In the bottom half I made a highlight reel catch on a liner by Tim Raines!

The first hit of the game came in the bottom of the 2nd when Mike Schmidt homered to left. I get the 3rd out for the 2nd straight inning, taking a grounder from Barry Bonnell.

Phillies lead 1-0.

I come up in the 3rd with two out and Fran Mullins on 2nd. I flew out to Von Hayes in centre.

In the 5th I came up with two out and Mike Hargrove on 3rd and Mike Jones on 2nd. I struck out.

I snagged another liner for the 3rd out that inning - this time it was hit by Juan Samuel. I am having a great day with the glove, even if not with the bat.

In the 6th the Phils struck again, as Ernie Whitt scored on a sac fly by Schmidt.

Phillies lead 2-0.

With one out and one out in the 7th Robinson reached the end of his rope and Nestor replaced him with Mark Davis. Tom O'Malley also replaced Mike Hargrove at 1st in a double switch.

I came up in the 8th with none out and O'Malley on 1st. I struck out again. Thankfully Kenny Oberkfell later doubled O'Malley home.

Phillies lead 2-1.

In the bottom frame they got it right back as Tim Raines singled Juan Samuel home.

Phillies lead 3-1.

We could not score int he 9th and we had lost again.

I struggled at the plate but played well int the field.

That kind of goes for the whole team.

We are now 63-60 and are falling further and further out of the race we flirted with a month ago.

Time to go home to Canada to face the Expos.
