May 6th, 1986

We are in Pittsburgh to face Jose DeLeon (1-2, 3.23) and the Pirates.

The Giants are going with Terry Mulholland (1-1, 6.67).

I have gone 4 for 13 vs Deleon!

I kicked off the game by by wearing a DeLeon slider. The fix is in!
I tried to steal 2nd but Tony Pena beat me on a pitchout.

In the bottom of the inning I started a nice Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to erase Ozzie Smith and Keith Moreland. I then handled a Johnny Ray grounder for the 3rd out.

We opened the scoring in the 2nd when DeLeon thumped Bob Brenly and gave ups double to Kenny Oberkfell, scoring Bob.
I came up with two out and Kenny still on 2nd. I struck out.

Giants lead 1-0.

The 2nd also brought us another double play - this time the Thompson - Priske - Aldrete variety, getting Kirk Gibson and Pena out.

In the 3rd I caught a DeLeon pop for the 2nd out.

In the 4th I came up with two out and Kenny O on 1st. I grounded out to Ray at 2nd.

We got another Thompson - Priske - Alredete double play in the 4th but this time the bases were loaded and Keith Moreland scored on the play.

Game tied 1-1.

In the 5th we got yet another Thompson - Priske - Aldrete d.p., getting Big Roberts and Jason Thompson out. It was starting to rain a little. Hopefully it does not get any worse.

It only lasted for about half an inning.

I came up in the 7th with one out and Mulholland on 1st. Bruce Sutter came in to face me. I singled to right, moving Terry to 2nd. Mike Aldrete did the same but Gibson had trouble with the ball out there and we got an extra base on his error. Terry scored and I was on 3rd. Sutter struck out Chili Davis and Rob Deer to get out of the jam.

Giants lead 2-1.

The rain came back and we ended up having to wait out an 18 minute delay in the 8th. It was a tough inning for Terry, culminating in a two run double for Ray, scoring Thompson and Moreland.

Pirates lead 3-2.

I came up in the 9th with one out and the potential tying run in the form of pinch hitter Chris Brown, on 2nd. I struck out.

We were unable to get that last run.

We are now 18-9. We now trail the Reds by a half game.

I went 1 for 3 with a single and a walk. I was also involved in FOUR double plays.
