We are finishing up the series vs the Expos.

Montreal is pitching Bryan Clutterbuck (1-5, 10.70).

The Giants have Willie Fraser (2-2, 4.71).

Despite those awful numbers by Clutterbuck, I have gone 0 for 5 against him.

I led off the home side by grounding out to Kenny Oberkfell at 3rd.
We scored that inning when Chili Davis crossed on a Rob Deer single.

Giants lead 1-0

The Expos got it right back in the 2nd when Rich Gedman scored on a Keith Moreland double.

Game tied 1-1

I made my first play in the 3rd, throwing out Jose Oqendo off a grounder for the 1st out.
Chuck Jackson scored on a wild pitch.

Expos lead 2-1

I led off the 3rd by lining out to Tim Flannery at 2nd.

I led off the 6th by hitting one back to the pitcher but beating it out for an infield single. Not only stolen base #50 followed, but I went to 3rd when Gedman threw it away. I ended up scoring on a Steve Stanicek ground out.

Game tied 2-2

Montreal got the lead back in the 8th when Jackson scored on a Gedman single.
Nestor went with Jeff Robinson after that, with two out and two men on. He struck out Moreland.

Expos lead 3-2

I came up in the bottom half with none out and pinch hitter Jerry Mumphrey on 1st. I popped it up. Jerry ended up scoring on a Chili sac fly.

Game tied 3-3

Dennis Eckerlsey took over in the 9th.
He struck out the side.

Things went worse in the 10th. Pedro Guerrero smashed a two run homer.

I came up with one out and Mike Henneman pitching. I hit one to left for a single. I advanced to 2nd on a Mike Aldrete single. I went to 3rd on a Chili fly ball. Steve Stanicek doubled and Mike and I both scored! Tie game! Then Rob hit one and Steve scored! Walk-off!

6-5 in 10!

I went 2 for 5 with two singles, two runs scored, and a stolen base. (#50!)

After the game we got word that Willie was sent down. Dave Miller was recalled in his stead. Dave is a young (ha!) rookie who had one (bad) start for us earlier this year. He hasn't been incredibly impressive in AAA. I wonder why Willie had to go down? He hasn't been THAT bad.

The Phillies are coming to town tomorrow.

Oh, hey! Doyle Alexander was named the NL Pitcher of the Month for May! He went 4-0, 2.03 , with 37 strikeouts!
