The Giants are pitching Eric King (5-2, 3.78) today.

We are facing Jeff Russell (1-3, 4.08) and the Reds.

I have gone 5 for 15 vs Russell.

I led off the game by grounding out to Will Clark at 1st. A Chris Brown walk and a Chili Davis home run but us on the board.

Giants lead 2-0.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Clark again.

The Reds got on the board in the 4th when Gary Redus hit a solo shot.

Giants lead 2-1.

I came up in the 5th with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I flew out to Eric Davis in centre.

I was keystone on a nice Thompson - Priske - Deer double play to get Wade Rowden and Cal Daniels out. After that Ryne Sandberg tied the game with an RBI single. Then Clark hit a two run homer to give the Reds the lead.

Reds lead 4-2.

Nestor pulled a double switch in the 6th, brining in Frank Williams to pitch and Tom O'Malley to take over for Deer at 1st.
I got the 2nd out for Frank, taking a Kurt Stillwell grounder.

The double switch paid off in the 7th when O'Malley hit a two run double, scoring Bob Brenly and Mazzilli with one out to tie the game. I came up next, now facing Donnie Moore. I worked a walk. We were left on.

Game tied 4-4.

Mark Davis came in to pitch for us in the 8th. I got him the 3rd out off a Davis grounder.

I came up in the 9th with two out, Brenly on 3rd, and John Franco on the mound. I flew out to Redus in right.

Scott Garrelts came in the pitch for us in the 10th. Scorrie is out go-to guy but today he gave up a solo homer to Rowden for the walk off 5-4 loss.

Bad day for me, going 0 for 4 with a walk.
