September 10th, 1985

We are in Houston and pitching Randy Morse (1-2, 5.45).
The Astros are pitching Bert Blyleven (9-15, 4.13).

I am 0 for 5 vs the vet.

I kicked off the game by making it 0 for 6. Blyleven struck me out.

I wasn't happy with my defensive play in the 1st either. With two out Doug DeCinces snuck on east me to score Bill Doran from 3rd.

Astros lead 1-0.

We tied it up in the 2nd when Mike Aldrete hit a solo shot.

Game tied 1-1.

In the 3rd I came up with one out and Fran Mullins on 1st. I popped out to Keith Hernandez at 1st. Happily Kenny Oberkfell doubled and cashed in Fran.

Giants lead 2-1.

I got the 3rd out in the bottom half, taking a grounder from Jerry Mumphrey.

In the 4th Mike Aldrete had to leave the game after a collision on the base paths. He looked pretty out of it. Maybe a concussion.

The Astros tied it back up in the 4th when Dickie Thon hit a sac fly, cashing in Hernandez.

Game tied 2-2.

I came up in the 5th with one out and Morse on 1st. I worked a four pitch walk. Kenny O hit another double and we both scored! It was followed by a single by Chili Davis and another 2-run double by Mike Hargrove!

Giants lead 6-2!

In the 6th I came up with two out and Fran on 2nd. I was facing Michael Anderson who came on in relief last inning. I grounded out to Doran at 2nd.

In the bottom half the 'Stros came roaring back when Chuck Jackson smashed a three-run dinger.

Giants lead 6-5.

The 7th was another big inning for us! Starting with two already out, Hargrove singled. Bob Brenly singled. Brian Harper singled. Rob Deer based a big three-run double. Fran doubled him home.

Giants lead 10-5.

Mark Calvert took over pitching for Morse in the bottom of the 7th.

He did not do well. He gave up three straight hits, including an RBI single for DeCinces. Hernandez tried to score on a Jose Cruz fly ball but Chili gunned him down!

Giants lead 10-6.

I led off the 8th, now facing Jeff Calhoun, by grounding out to Hernandez at 1st.

Calvert continued his struggles that inning, giving up a two-run homer to Jackson. He didn't last much past that as Nestor went with Ron Davis. He fared now better, giving u a solo homer to the first batter he faced, Bill Doran. I took care of a Mumphrey grounder for the 2nd out and a Hernandez grounder for the 3rd.

Giants lead 10-9.

Ron gave up a hit to lead off the 9th and by the time I took a Ron Hassey grounder for the 2nd out, pinch runner Joey Cora was standing on 3rd. Terry Puhl came in as a pinch hitter and smacked a ball to the right but Fran grabbed it to preserve the win.

A win for us!

71-66

I went 0 for 4 with a walk and a run scored.
