May 30th, 1987

Today the Expos are pitching Jeff Russell (3-3, 4.40).

The Giants are using Eric Show (3-5, 4.37).

I have gone 7 for 21 against Russell.

I led off the home half by grounding out to Jose Oquendo at short.

In the 2nd I handled a Kenny Oberkfell grounder for the 3rd out.

I made a tough play in the 3rd on a Thomas Howard grounder for the 2nd out. The Expos opened the scoring that inning when Pedro Guerrero singled home Russell. Then Eric walked Rich Gedman with the bases loaded. Then he did the same to Keith Moreland.

Expos lead 3-0

I came up that inning with two out and Bobby Grich on 2nd. I picked up an RBI single through the right side. I was left on 1st.

Expos lead 3-1

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

The Expos loaded them up in the 5th but I took a Russell grounder to end it.

In the bottom half I came up in the same situation as last time - Bobby on 2nd with two out. This time I flew out to Guerrero in left.

I got the 1st out in the 6th, taking a Howard grounder. A Grich - Priske - Aldrete double play gets Oquendo and Guerrero for the other two outs.

In the home half Mike Aldrete scored on a Steve Stanicek single.

Expos lead 3-2

In the 7th it was a Show - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Gedman and Moreland.

In the 8th Nestor went to Scott Garrelts. I got the 1st guy for him off a Kenny O grounder.

I led off the bottom half with Ed Nunez pitching. I struck out.

We were unable to make up the last run and lost 3-2.

I went 1 for 4 with a single and RBI.
