June 22nd, 1986

The first game of today's double header has the Astros pitching John Candelaria (3-8, 3.80).
The Giants are going with Eric King (4-2, 3.53).

I am 3 for 17 vs Candy... and I am slumping at the plate.

I led off for us by lining out to Keith Hernandez at 1st.
Rob Deer did a lot better, hitting a solo shot to open the scoring.

Giants lead 1-0.

The Astros didn't take long to even it up as Ken Griffey doubled home Doug DeCinces after only two batters in the 2nd. Ron Hassey then doubled Griffey in. He scored later on a Bill Doran sac fly.

Astros lead 3-1.

In the 3rd I started a nice Priske - Thompson - Deer double play to get Harold Baines and DeCinces out.

I came up with two out int he 3rd and struck out.

In the 5th I caught a DeCinces pop for the final out.

Then came our half...
John Rabb reached with a one out single. Hernandez fumbled a Kenny Oberkfell grounder and both him and Rabb were safe. Lee Mazzilli doubled, scoring both runners. Eric King struck out.I came up and followed off five straight pitched before hitting a single, scoring Lee. Robby Thompson doubled and I scored. Rob Deer was hit by a pitch and then Bob Brenly singled, scoring Robby.

Giants lead 7-3.

King reached the end of his run during the 6th and Nestor went with Pat Perry (and Tom O'Malley replacing Kenny O at 3rd on a double switch). The inherited runner, Hassey, scored on a Dickie Thon double.

Giants lead 7-4.

I came up with one out in the 6th, Mazzilli on 1st, now facing Mike Flanagan, and I I did the worst thing and hit into a double play.

In the 7th I started another Priske - Thompson - Deer double play, getting Bill Doran and Chuck Jackson out.

On the home half Chili Davis pinch hit for Perry with he bases loaded and doubled, scoring the whole lot!

Giants lead 10-4!

Mike Perez came in to pitch in the 8th. I got the 1st out for him, taking a Baines grounder.

I came up with one out in the 8th and flew out to Baines in right.

In the 9th I snagged a grounder by pinch hitter Joey Cora to end the game.

I got a single, and RBI, and scored a run. Still, one for five.

We won though!

And another game to come today!
