June 21st, 1986

Today the Astros are pitching Mark Knudson (5-1, 3.14).

The Giants are going with Terry Mulholland (6-4, 4.06).

I am 2 for 4 vs Knudson.

I got the last out i the opening frame off a Doug DeCinces grounder.

I led off the home half by striking out.

I got the 1st out in the 2nd by snagging a Ken Griffey pop.
The Astros loaded the bases with one out by Bob Brenly started a nice 2-3 double play to get out of it.

We opened the scoring on the bottom half when Brenly double down with a sweet solo home run!

Giants lead 1-0.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and struck out again!

I took another DeCinces grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.
Ron Hassey evened the game up with a solo shot of his own.

Game tied 1-1.

I came up in the 5th with one out, Brenly on 3rd, and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I popped one up to shallow centre. I couldn't even get the sac. Thankfully Chris Brown did better and singled home both runners.

Giants lead 3-1.

Scott Garrelts took over on the mound to start the 8th. I got the 3rd out for him, catching a Harold Baines pop.

I led off the bottom of the 8th by grounding out to DeCinces at 3rd. Before the inning was up, though, Mike Aldrete doubled home Chili Davis and Rob Deer!

Giants lead 5-1.

And then is how it ended!

Good game for us, but a bad one for me.

We are 42-25.

Tomorrow we play two vs the Astros!
