September 12th, 1986
The Braves are in town and pitching Tom Glavine (8-11, 4.79).
The Giants are going with John Burkett (0-1, 8.44).
This is where our pitcher injuries are costing us.
I have gone 3 for 15 vs Glavine, though one was a homer.
I led off the home half of the 1st by grounding out to Ron Cey at 3rd.
I got the 2nd out int he 2nd by returning the favour to Cey.
I came up in the 3rd with Burkett on 1st and none out. I grounded into fielder's choice back to the pitcher. I took 2nd on a Mike Aldrete grounder but got no further.
I came up next with two out in the 5th and I struck out.
I got the 2nd out in the 6th, grabbing a Gary Sheffield grounder.
The goose egg was finally cracked in the 7th when John Rabb launched a two run homer.
Giants lead 2-0.
I led off the bottom the 8th, now facing Ken Dayley. I hit a chopper to Cey at 3rd which I beat out for an infield single. Mike Aldrete walked. I stole 3rd for #122. I got no further.
Scotty Garrelts came in to pitch the 9th. He gave up a one out walk but a Walling - Priske - Garrelts double play ended the game.
Giants win!
I went 1 for 4 with a single and a stolen base.
