Today the Mets are pitching Tim Leary (0-3, 5.40).
The Giants are going with Willie Fraser (4-2, 4.19).

I am the only one in our line-up who has faced Leary, and I was 0 for 1.

I led off the game by flying out to Darryl Strawberry in right.

I got the last out of the inning, taking a Hubie Brooks grounder.

I came up in the 2nd with two out and Bob Brenly on 3rd and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I legged out an infield single to score Bob!

Giants lead 1-0.

I got the 1st out in the bottom half, catching a pop by Ken Phelps.

I did the exact same thing in the 3rd, off a Kevin Mitchell pop. I then grabbed a Lenny Dykstra liner for the 2nd out.

In the 4th I got the 1st out for the 3rd straight inning - this was another Brooks grounder. I then caught a Dave Cochrane liner for the last.

I led off the 5th by singling to left. I quickly picked up stolen base #39. I moved to 3rd on a Chris Brown single. I was unable to score.

In the 5th I made it four innings in a row when I took a Dave Magadan grounder for the 1st out.

In the 7th I came up with one out and now facing Calvin Schiraldi. I grounded out to Brooks at short.

With two out and two on in the bottom half, Nestor went to Jeff Robinson to pitch. I got Wally Backman's grounder to end the threat.

We kicked off the 8th by Child Davis hitting a solo homer! Later Mike Aldrete scored on an error. I came up with two out and two on, facing Jesse Orosco, but he struck me out.

Giants lead 3-0.

Scott Garrelts took over pitching for us in the bottom half. I got the 2nd out for him off a Dyksta grounder. Scott got us through the 9th for a 3-0 win!

A good day for me, going 2 for 5 with an RBI, stolen base, and a busy day in the field!

We are 31-17!

The OSA has just downgraded my rating from 5 stars to 4! I need to get hitting!
