June 17th, 1987

Afternoon game in San Diego.

The Padres are pitching Scott McGregor (3-3, 3.17).
The Giants are going with Eric King (3-2, 3.28).

I am 0 for 4 vs McGregor. Another goose egg to crack.

I kick off the game by picking up my 60th strikeout of the season.

Chili Davis doesn't! He hits a solo homer to put us not he board!

Giants lead 1-0.

I catch a John Kruk pop up for the 2nd Padres out of the game.

In the 2nd the Pads even it up off a Kevin McReynolds homer. I got the 2n out after that off a Carmelo Martinez grounder.

Game tied 1-1.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded right back to McGregor.

The 4th went very well. We loaded the m up with none out and first Chili scored on a Robby Thompson sac fly and then Lee Mazzilli launched a two out, three-run home run.

Giants lead 5-1.

I picked up an Ozzie Guillen grounder for the 2nd out in the home half.

I led off the 5th by striking out again. Chris Brown did better, launching a solo shot of ranter run!

Giants lead 6-1.

In the bottom half I started a Priske - Thompson - Deer double play to get Juan Beniquez and pinch hitter Harold Reynolds out.

San Diego came charging back in the 6th as Tony Gwynn hit a triple to score Randy Ready and Kruk. Then McReynolds doubled, scoring Gwynn. Ozzie Guillen singled. I got us out of it with another Priske - Thompson - Deer double play to get Guillen and Beniquez.

Giants lead 6-4.

I came up in the 7th with one out and Mazzilli on 1st. Ed Wojna was pitching. I struck out for the third time today.

Jeff Robinson took over pitching duties for us in the bottom half. I got the 2nd out for him, grabbing a Ready pop.

In the 8th we got our 3rd Priske - Thompson - Deer double play, this time nabbing McReynolds and Guillen.

We got a little insurance in the 9th as Mazzilli singled home Robby Thompson from 3rd. I came up with two out and Lee on 1st. Lance McCullers was pitching. I flew out to Gwynn in right.

Giants lead 7-4.

Scott Garrelts came in to close things out for us.
I got him the 2nd out off an easy Beniquez grounder. He got the other two outs courtesy of strikeouts and we had the win.

Good day for the team but a terrible day for me at the plate. (Good in the field, though.)

40-23.
