May 10th, 1987

We are finishing up our home series vs the Pirates. They are pitching Jose DeLeon (2-2, 4.66).

The Giants are going with Willie Fraser (1-1, 3.97).

I have gone 6 for 19 vs DeLeon.

I heard Bob Brenly before the game and it sounds like he could use a day off. Luckily, we all have one tomorrow.

I got into it right away, handling an Ozzie Smith grounder for the 1st out.
A couple of batters later Kirk Gibson put one into the bleachers for the first run.

Pirates lead 1-0

I led off our half by plying out to Sap Randall in centre.

The Bucs struck again in the 2nd with Ozzie Virgil belting a two run homer. Then Chris Speier scored on a DeLeon ground out.

Pirates lead 4-0

We got on the board that inning when Chris Brown hit a solo shot.

Pirates lead 4-1

I came up with one out in the 3rd and dropped one into left for a single. I ran into a pitch out and was thrown out trying to steal.

I got the 3rd out in the 4th off a DeLeon grounder.

We got another run that frame when Chris scored on a double by Bob.

Pirates lead 4-2

In the 5th I started a Priske - Grich - Aldrete double play to get Ozzie Smith and Johnny Ray out.

I came up in the 5th with one out and pinch-hitter Jerry Mumphrey on 2nd. I walked. Mike Aldrete hit one off the centre field wall for a double. Jerry scored and I went to 3rd. We were left there.

Pirates lead 4-3

Frank Williams took over on the mound for us to kick off the 6th.
We saved a run with an Aldrete - Priske - Williams double play to get Virgil and Speier to end the inning with a man on 3rd.

I took another DeLeon grounder for the 2nd out in the 7th.

I came up in the 7th with none out and pinch hitter Tom O'Malley on 1st. I hit into a fielder's choice. Stolen base #29. Then Mikey took one over the fence to give us the lead!

Giants lead 5-4

Scott Garrelts came in to pitch in the 8th.
He got his guys, giving up one hit, and then Nestor went to Dennis Eckersley for the 9th. Three batters later we had the comeback win.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, a run scored, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.

That is five wins in a row for us.

Now we get a day off before the Cardinals come to town.
