May 13th, 1987
Today the Cardinals are pitching Danny Cox (2-3, 4.81).
The Giants have Doyle Alexander (5-1, 2.68).
I have gone 7 for 24 vs Cox.
I led off our half by grounding out to Mike Marshall at 1st.
Mike Aldrete followed me with a solo homer.
Giants lead 1-0.
I made me first defensive play in the 3rd, grabbing a Tom Pagnozzi grounder for the 1st out.
I led off the bottom frame by popping out to Terry Pendleton at 3rd. Mikey ended up scoring on a Rob Deer sac fly.
Giants lead 2-0
In the 4th we got a Grich - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Andy Van Slyke and Oddibe McDowell.
I led off in the 5th by striking out. Mikey followed me with another solo shot. Then Chili Davis scored on a Steve Stanicek double.
Giants lead 4-0
I came up with one out in the 6th and put one through the right side for a single. Stolen base #31. Mikey walked behind me. (It seems that once you belt two homers, the pitchers get a little nervous around you.) I scored on a Chili single.
Giants lead 5-0
I led off in the 8th, now facing Jeff Lahti. I walked. Stolen base #32. Mikey walked. Double steal! I scored on a Steve ground out.
Giants lead 6-0
One out away from a complete game shutout, Doyle gives up a solo homer to Van Slyke. He still gets the 6-1 win.
We have won 7 straight!
I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, two runs scored, and three stolen bases!
Tomorrow is a travel day as we are heading to New York City!
