June 6th, 1986

We are home to face the division leading Reds. Both teams have won four in a row.

The Reds are pitching Jay Tibbs (6-3, 2.70).

The Giants are going with Terry Mulholland (5-3, 4.28).

Tibbs is a good pitcher but I have had BIG success against him, going 8 for 15!

I got the 2nd out of the game, taking a Ryne Sandberg grounder.

I led off the home half by flying out to Eric Davis in deep centre.

I got the 2nd out in the 2nd off another grounder - this one by Kurt Stillwell.

Terry really lost his control in the 3rd. He gave up a hit and a couple of walks - including to Tibbs - to load the bases and then TIbbs scored on a wild pitch. He bore down after that and got away with no more damage.

Reds lead 1-0.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and grounded out to Sandberg at 2nd.

I got the 2nd out in the 5th off a Kal Daniels grounder. I then got the 3rd off one by Sandberg.

I came up int he 5th with two out and Bob Brenly on 2nd. I hit one down the 1st base line and into the right field corner! Bob scored as I got an RBI double! That was our first hit of the game! Then Chris Brown singled and I hustled home, outrunning the throw, to give us the lead!

Giants lead 2-1!

I got the 3rd out in the 6th, taking a Gary Redus grounder.

I came up in the 7th with two out. I hit a squibbed back to Tibbs but outran the play for an infield single! Mike Aldrete came up behind me, pinch hitting for Brown. I stole 2nd on a pitchout... but still made it! Stolen base #41! Mike walked and then Chili Davis singled and I scored from 2nd!

Giants lead 3-1!

Terry left for a pinch hitter that inning so now Scott Garrelts took over in the 8th. He walked pinch hitter Nick Esasaky but then Daniels hit into an Oberkfell - Priske - Deer double play!

They got to Scott in the 9th. He gave up a hit and walk with one out and Nestor saw that he was lagging so he pulled him for Mark Davis. That didn't help as Mark gave up a two run double to Stillwell. The save was blown and the game was tied.

I came up in the 9th with one out and Ron Robinson on the mound. I grounded out to Will Clark at 1st.

Pat Perry took over pitching in the 10th after Mark was lifted for a pinch hitter. I should have gotten him the 1st out by a fumbled an Al Newman grounder. Error.
After having a great game, I messed it up. Unforgivable. Thankfully we got an Oberkfell - Priske - Deer double play on pinch hitter Tracy Jones to erase my mistake. That was followed by single, walk, RBI single by Eric Davis to give the Reds the lead.

Reds lead 4-3.

And that was it. We couldn't score in the 10th and we lost a very winnable game.

I went 2 for 5 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base... and an error.

We are now 34-18. 3 games behind the Reds and 1.5 behind the Dodgers.
