April 11th, 1986

We are in L.A. to face Bob Forsch and the Dodgers.

Eric King is pitching for us.

Forsch pitched for Oakland last year so I have never faced him.

I led off the game by swinging through the third strike.

I got the last out of the inning by grabbing a grounder from Darrell Evans.

In the 3rd Eric walked Evans with the bases loaded to score Mike Scoscia.

Dodgers lead 1-0.

I led off the 4th by eating a Forsch curveball that curved a little too much. The way I have been hitting, I'll take it! Then came stolen base #2. I moved to 3rd on a Kenny Oberkfell grounder. I wasn't able to move up the last 90 feet.

I came up in the 6th with one out and pinch hitter Tom O'Malley on 1st. I grounded out to Steve Sax at 2nd, but moved O'Malley up. He wasn't able to come around.

Frank Williams relieved for us.
He gave up a run when RJ Reynolds hit a sac fly to score Mookie Wilson.

Dodgers lead 2-0.

Jeff Robinson took over pitching for us in the 8th, after Frankie was lifted for a pinch hitter.
I got the 2nd out for Jeff, snagging a liner by Evans.

I led off the 9th, now facing Tom Niedenfuer. I struck out. I am hitting .071

We lost 2-0 and are now 0-4.
