April 8th, 1987

We wrap up our first series today.

The Giants are pitching Doyle Alexander against the Padres and Eric King.

Eric is a form teammate and I have gone 1 for 3 against him.

After the friars went down in order, I led off our half by working a walk.
Stolen base #4.
Stolen base #5.
I scored on a one out wild pitch by King.

Giants lead 1-0

The lead was short lived as Kevin McReynolds led off the 2nd with a solo homer.

Game tied 1-1

They struck again in the 3rd when King scored on a McReynolds single. Then Randy Ready scored on a Carmelo Martinez fielder's choice that I handled.

Padres lead 3-1

I got the 1st out in the 5th, taking a Tony Gwynn grounder.

I came up in the bottom half with one out and Doyle on 1st. (Both pitchers have hit the other. Something to watch out for.)
I grounded one back to the pitcher but King threw it away and Doyle and I were both safe.
We were left.

The Padres scored again in the 7th when Frank White scored on a Gwynn double. I got the next two outs off grounders by Ready and Kruk.

Padres lead 4-1

I came up in the bottom half with one out and Tom O'Malley on 2nd and Bobby Grich on 1st. Mark Williamson was pitching. I hit into a double play.

Frank Williams took over pitching for us in the 8th.

We got one back in our half when Chris Brown scored on a Stanicek double.

Padres lead 4-2

I got the 1st out in the 9th, taking a Darrell Miller grounder.

I came up with two out in the 9th and Scott Bradley on 1st. Lance McCullers was pitching and I represented the tying run.

Slider on the outside corner for strike one.
Down and away. 1-1.
I drop one into left for a single.

Chris Brown grounded out and we had our first loss.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, two stolen bases and my batting average is up to .167

We had a bunch of waiver action yesterday.
We lost Mark Grant to the Cubs. (I thought it was a mistake to send him down.)
We lost Mike Jones to the Angels.

Meanwhile we got Fran Mullins back off waivers from the Tigers.
We also got Brian Giles from the Mets and Bobby Miscik from the Pirates.

Giles joined us and Craig Grebeck was sent down.

Brian seems like a good guy. He is also the biggest threat to my playing time. I better start producing!
