July 11th, 1986

Today the Pirates are throwing Dennis Martinez (6-6, 2.88) in there.

The Giants are going with Eric King (6-2, 3.87).

I am a mere 0 for 2 vs Martinez.

I led off the home half by hitting one up the middle for a single. Unfortunately Mike Aldrete then grounded into a double play.

I got the first out in the 2nd, grabbing a Bip Roberts pop.

The Pirates loaded them up with none out in the 3rd before Keith Moreland hit into a Priske - Thompson - Walling double play. Johnny Ray scored.

Pirates lead 1-0.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Denny Walling on 2nd. A grounded out right back to Martinez, but at least I moved Denny up. Aldrete blasted a double to centre and Denny scored.

Game is tied 1-1.

Eric ran out of steam in the 4th. He had only allowed one run but was in danger every inning. Nestor turned it over to Mike Perez with two out and two on. Things did not go well. Mike has yet to give up a run but this time he walked Ray to load the bases and then Fred Lynn launched a Grand Slam.

Pirates lead 5-1.

I came up in the 5th with two out and Bob Brenly on 1st. I singled to right, moving Bob to 3rd. Aldrete singled behind me, scoring Brenly and I went to 3rd. I was left there.

Pirates lead 5-2.

Mike loaded the bases with one out in the 6th and Nestor turned the ball over to Frank Williams. He got us out of it.

I came up with two out in the 7th and I worked a walk. That turned into stolen base #69. Aldrete doubled off the wall again and I scored!

Pirates lead 5-3.

Pat Perry took over on the mound to lead off the 8th. I got the 2nd out for him, grabbing a Ray grounder. I did the same in the 9th off a Keith Moreland grounder.

I came up in the bottom of the 9th representing the tying run. Pinch-hitter Scott Bradley was on 1st and they brought Cecilio Guante in to face me with none out.
He struck me out.
We weren't able to make up the runs.

I went 2 for 4 with 2 singles, a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored.

We are now tied with the Reds, a half game behind the Dodgers.
