June 5th, 1987

We are in the Astrodome and facing Manny Hernandez (2-5, 5.88).

The Giants are pitching Eric Show (3-6, 4.32).

I have never faced Hernandez.

I led off the game by striking out.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Alan Cockrell on 2nd. I flew out to Harold Baines in right.

I made my first defensive play in the 4th, grabbing a Brian Harper grounder for the 1st out.

I came up in the 5th with two out and Alan on 2nd and Eric on 1st. I flew out to Jeffrey Leonard in left.

We made a Grich - Priske - Aldrete double play in the 6th to get Craig Biggio and Harper out.

In the 7th the Astros opened the scoring when Karl Allaire crossed on a Leonard single. We need the threat by getting Leonard and KeithHernandez with a Show - Priske - Aldrete double play.

Astros lead 1-0

I came up with two out in the 8th and grounded out to Hernandez at 1st.

Scott Garrelts took over after Eric left for a pinch hitter. He got his three outs but we were unable to score and lost 1-0.

I was no help, going 0 for 4. We only had three hits total.
