August 19th, 1986

The Phillies are in town and they brought Kevin Gross (7-8, 4.48).

The Giants are going with ace, Dennis Eckersley (14-8, 2.32).

I am 2 for 15 vs Gross.

I led off our half by flying out to Bo Jackson in right.
We did manage to score in the 1st as Mike Aldrete crossed on a Rob Deer single.

Giants lead 1-0.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and I grounded out to Craig Reynolds at short.

Chili Davis led off the bottom of the 4th with a solo blast to double our lead.

Giants lead 2-0.

I made my first defensive play in the 5th, taking a Keith Miller grounder for the 2nd out.

The pails finally got to Eck when Juan Samuel led off the 6th with a solo blast.

Giants lead 2-1.

I led off the bottom frame by grounding out to Miller at 3rd.

Eck left for Jeff Robinson in the 7th. He gave up a triple but got out of it.

Deer led off the bottom half with a solo blast.

Giants lead 3-1.

I came up with two out in the 8th, now facing John Cerutti. I grounded out to Reynolds again.

Scott Garrelts came out in the 9th to add to his league-leading 32 saves. Three batters later and that number was 33.

We won 3-1.

I did absolutely nothing.
