June 23rd, 1986

The Giants (Willie Fraser, 7-2, 3.90) were facing the Padres (Dave Dravecky, 4-8, 3.52).

I ws given the day off. Brad Wellman played short.

We lost 5-2.


June 24th, 1986

Today the Padres were pitching Eric Show (3-8, 4.12).
The Giants went with Bruce Ruffin (5-4, 3.02).

I was back in the lineup... but I have gone 0 for 21 vs Show.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by making that 0 for 22. I grounded out right back to Show.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I grounded out to Carmelo Martinez at 1st. 0 for 23.

My first defensive play came in the 4th where I took an Ozzie Guillen grounder for a 2nd out fielder's choice.

I next got the 1st out in the 5th, taking a Show grounder.

In the bottom half we opened the scoring when Rob Deer scored on a Mazzilli single.

Giants lead 1-0.

Mike Perez relieved Ruffin during the 6th.

I led off the bottom of the 6th by finally cracking that goose egg by legging out an infield single! I then moved to 3rd on a Chris Brown single. Chili Davis then singled and I scored! Chris and Chili both scored on a Deer triple. He scored on a Robby Thompson double.

Giants lead 5-0!

Mike Perez struck out the side and left the game still with a 0.00 ERA after pitching a total of 10.1 innings...

I came up in the 7th with one out and flew out to Tony Gwynn in right.

Mark Davis took the mound for us in the 8th. The Padres got on the board against him as Martinez socked a solo homer.

Giants lead 5-1.

Mark got the last three outs and this one went in the WIN column.

I went 1 for 4 with a run scored.

We are now 45-26, trailing the Dodgers by 3 and the Reds by 1.5.
