Facing the Dodgers and Orel Hershiser (9-6, 2.97).

The Giants have Dennis Eckersley (13-6, 2.25).

Big match-up.

I have gone only 1 for 18 vs Hershiser. I want to turn that around, right now.

I opened up the game by putting one past the shortstop for a single! I then stop base #82 and moved to 3rd when the ball got away on the throw. Robby Thompson singled and I scored.

Giants lead 1-0.

L.A. tied it up in the 2nd when Sid Bream hit a solo homer.

Game tied 1-1.

I came up with two out in the 3rd and struck out.

The Dodgers took the lead that inning when Steve Sax singled home Mookie Wilson. We ended things with a Priske - Thompson - Walling double play to get Sax and Mike Marshall.

Dodgers lead 2-1.

In the 4th Mike Scioscia singled home Franklin Stubbs. I took a Mookie grounder for the last out.

Dodgers lead 3-1.

They kept at it int he 5th. Hershiser scored on a Sax ground out. Later Bream walloped a three-run homer. I took a Tim Wallach grounder to end it, but the damage was done.

Dodgers lead 7-1.

I came up with two out in the 6th and grounded out to Wallach at third.

We got one back in the 7th when Robby scored on a Chili Davis sac fly.

Dodgers lead 7-2.

In the 8th Bob Brenly led off with a home run. I came up with one out and Denny Walling on 1st. Ken Howell was brought in to face me. It worked as he struck me out.

Dodgers lead 7-3.

Frank Williams came in to pitch for us. He got his outs but we couldn't score in the 9th and took the loss.

The Dodgers trail the Reds by a half game. We are back by 3.5

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a run scored, and a stolen base.
