August 4th, 1986

I have family in town for this game! My Uncle is a big Reds fan... hopefully he still cheers for me.

The Reds are pitching William Brennan (1-1, 4.38).
The Giants have Eric Show (6-11, 3.73).

Brennan is new. None of us have ever faced him.

I was the first to face him in the bottom of the 1st. I grounded out to Ryne Sandberg at 2nd.

Things went well for us in the 2nd. First Rob Deer walked. Mike Aldrete singled and Rob went to 3rd. Bob Brenly hit into a fielder's choice and then got picked off 1st.With two out Kenny Oberkfell walked. Brennan uncorked a wild one and Rob scored. Another wild pitch sent Kenny to 3rd. Lee Mazzilli walked. Then Show doubled! Kenny O scored. I singled and Lee scored!

Giants lead 3-0.

I led off the 5th by reaching on an infield hit to deep short. With one out I stole base #87 and then scored on a Chili Davis double. Deer singled. Aldrete singled, scoring Chili. Brenly walked. Kenny O hit a sac fly, scoring Deer.

Giants lead 6-0.

I made my first defensive play in the 8th, grabbing an Al Newman grounder for the 1st out.

I came up with one out in the 6th and the Reds brought in Rob Dibble to pitch. He walked me. Stolen base #88 soon followed. Once again, Chili doubled and I scored.

Giants lead 7-0.

Ben Oglivie pinch hit for Deer that inning and stayed in to play left.
The same happened in the 8th when Dan Driessen and Scott Bradley took over for Denny Walling and Kenny O.

I didn't want to say anything, in order to avoid the jinx, but Kurt Stillwell singled in the 8th, breaking up Eric's no-hitter! After that Nestor decided to let him enjoy the fruits of his great game in the clubhouse while Pat Perry took over pitching. I got the 1st out for him, taking a Charlie Moore grounder. Stillwell ended up scoring on an error by Aldrete! At least Eric won't be charged with it.

Giants lead 7-1.

I led off the bottom frame, now facing Rob Murphy. I flew out to Dwight Evans in right.

I made the 2nd out in the 9th, grabbing a Tracy Jones grounder and the 3rd on a Wade Rodwen grounder.

Big win for us!

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, w all, an RBI, two runs scored, and two stolen bases!

That is five wins in a row for us!
