Today the Expos are throwing Scott Bankhead (5-17, 5.18).

The Giants have Eric Show (8-13, 3.55).

Neither has a great record but I'll take Eric any day.

I am 0 for 6 vs Bankhead.

I led off for us and grounded out right back to the pitcher.

I made my first defensive play in the 3rd, returning the favour by taking a Bankhead grounder for the 2nd out.

I led off our 4th by flying out to Danny Heep in right.
Mike Aldrete and Rob Deer each hit a solo homer that inning to open the scoring.

Giants lead 2-0.

Lee Mazzilli joined the party by hitting a solo blast to lead off the 5th. I came up with one out and getting my first hit off Bankhead - a single through the right side. I moved to 3rd on an Aldrete single and scored on one by Chili Davis. Mike later scored on a Kenny Oberkfell fielder's choice.

Giants lead 5-0.

I came up with one out in the 6th. Bob Brenly was on 3rd, Lee was on 2nd, and Glenn Abbott was pitching. I singled into right, scoring Bob! I then picked up stolen base #103. Lee crossed and I moved to 3rd on a groundout by Aldrete. I was left there.

Giants won 7-0!

Eric Show ended up pitching a two hit shut out!

I went 2 for 4 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base!

Nestor told me that I am getting tomorrow off. I hate to admit it, but I have been kind of tired. I don't like sitting after a strong day though.
