May 30th, 1986

We are in New York at Shea Stadium to face the Mets.

New York is pitching Dwight Gooden (3-4, 3.02).

The Giants are using Bruce Ruffin (4-1, 2.92).

I have gone 2 for 14 vs Gooden.

I led thing off by grounding out to Joe Renfield at 2nd.

Darryl Strawberry launched a HUGE homer in the bottom of the first. There was a man on.
I got the last out off a Ken Phelps grounder.

Mets lead 2-0.

I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Redfield again.

In the bottom half I got the 1st out, taking a Hubie Brooks fielder's choice ball.

I got the 2nd out in the 5th, taking a Lenny Dykstra grounder.

I led off the 6th by flying out deep to Dykstra in centre.

The Mets get another run that inning when Strawberry led off with a triple and then scored on a wild pitch.

Mets lead 3-0.

They struck again in the 7th when Brooks doubled home Gooden and Alfredo Griffin. That was it for Bruce and Curt Brown took the ball.

Mets lead 5-0.

I came up in the 8th with two outs and flew out to Strawberry in right.

Pat Perry came in to pitch the bottom half.

We got on the board in the 9th when Mike Aldrete hit a sac fly to score Chris Brown.

That was all we managed and lost 5-1.

I went 0 for 4.

We have slipped into 3rd, falling behind the Dodgers.
