October 1st, 1986

Our penultimate home game and the Astro are pitching Bert Blyleven (14-11, 2.74).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (15-8, 3.09).

I have really struggled against Bert, going 1 for 21.

Speaking of struggling, Bruce walked the first three batters of the game. Bill Doran scored on a Harold Baines sac fly. Dickie Thon scored on a two out single by Brian Harper.

Astros lead 2-0.

I led off the home half by taking a walk. I moved to 2nd on a Mike Aldrete single. With one out we pulled off a double steal. For me it was #139. I scored on a Rob Deer sac fly. Mike scored on a Steve Stanicek single. Steve and Robby Thompson scored on a Kenny Oberkfell single!

Giants lead 4-2!

I got the 3rd out in the 2nd off a Doran grounder.

In the bottom half I came up with none out and Bruce on 1st. I struck out.

Thon led off the 3rd with a solo homer. I caught a Doug DeCinces pop for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 4-3.

I came up with one out in the 4th and legged out an infield single for my 2nd over hit against Bert. I moved to 2nd on an Aldrete single. We tried a double steal but Mike was thrown out at 2nd. That turned out to be bad because Chili Davis smashed a two run homer!

Giants lead 6-3!

I got the 1st out in the 5th, making a great play on a Thon grounder.

I then got the 1st out in the 6th off an easier grounder by DeCinces.

I came up with two out in the bottom half and grounded out to Thon at short.

Jeff Robinson took over for Bruce with one out and one on in the 7th.

I came up in the 8th with two out and the bases loaded. Joe Niekro was pitching and he walked me! Easy RBI! For the 3rd time this game Mike got a hit with me on. This time it was a double and all three of us scored!

Giants lead 10-3!

We had a couple fo defensive changes, getting Tom O'Malley in at 1st and call-up Jessie Reid in right.

Mike Perez took over on the mound. Three batters later, we had the win, breaking a four game losing streak.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, two walks, three runs scored, one RBI, and one stolen base.

The Yankees clinched the AL East today.
