June 29th, 1987

The Braves are in town and are pitching Tom Glavine (6-6, 4.04).

The Giants have Eric Show (4-9, 4.47).

I have gone 6 for 25, including a home run, against Glavine.

Show is not having the best season, but we are hot!

Atlanta got to Eric right away as Milt Thompson scored on an Andres Galarraga single, still with none out. Then Gerald Perry scored on a Gary Sheffield sac fly.

Braves lead 2-0

I led off the bottom half by putting one into the left field corner for a double. With one out, stolen base #76. With two out, Rob Deer smashed a big three-run homer.

Giants lead 3-2

In the 2nd I came up with one out and Chris Brown on 1st. I struck out.

I got the 2nd out in the 3rd off a fielder's choice ball by Jeff Blauser. I then handled a Ron Cey grounder to finish it off.

We had a big 3rd. First Chili Davis scored on a sac fly by Rob. Later Chris blasted a three-run home run.

Giants lead 7-2

I got the 2nd out in the 4th, catching a Gerald Perry pop.

I led off the bottom half by flying out to Ken Griffey Jr. in right.

In the 5th Griffey scored on a Key single, plus a throwing error by Chili.
Nelson Santovenia followed with a two-run homer.

Giants lead 7-5

I came up in the bottom of half, with the bases full and two out. I wasn't able to make it work, flying out.

Mark Clear relieved for us in the 6th. He pitched two and then Scott Garrelts took over in the 8th.

I led off the bottom of the 9th, now facing Steve Farr. I pushed one through the left side for a single. Stolen base #77. I moved to 3rd on a Mike Aldrete ground out. With two out I scored on a single by Rob. After that the Braves walked TWO with he bases loaded.

Giants lead 10-5

With the extra cushion Frank Williams came in to pitch the 9th. He walked the first two guys and Nestor switched to Mark Davis. He struck out one but then gave up another walk and then a single to Griffey, scoring Milt Thompson.
That made it time for Dennis Eckersley.
He got a strikeout but then Cey singled, scoring Perry.
Another strikeout and we had a 10-7 win.

That is six wins in a row!

I went 2 for 5 with a single, a double, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.

After the game we found out that Sergio Valdez was sent to Phoenix and Dave Miller was called back up. Bill Laskey was placed on waivers.

This is a tough staff to break into.
