July 4th, 1987

We are in Chicago for the holiday. The Cubs are pitching Mike Maddux (6-6, 4.97).

The Giants are going with Eric Show (5-9, 4.60).

I have gone 1 for 9 against Maddux.

I led off the game by grounding out right back to Maddux.
We got one on the board in the 1st when Mike Aldrete Scored on a Robby Thompson single. That was the good news. The bad news was that after the hit Robby had to leave the game. He has missed a lot of the season. Hopefully this isn't as serious.
Bobby Grich took over for him.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 2nd with one out and John Rabb on 2nd. I hit one to the right field fence for an RBI triple! Mike followed with two run homer!

Giants lead 4-0

I got the last out in the bottom half off a Mike Brumley grounder.

In the 3rd John walloped a solo homer!

Giants lead 5-0

I got the last out in the bottom half again - this time it was a Gary Jones grounder.

I led off the 4th by hitting open up the middle for a single. Stolen base #81. I moved to 3rd on a one out single by Chili Davis. I scored on a Steve Stanicek sac fly.
Befroe the inning was up, both Rob Deer and Chris Brown hit two run homers!

Giants lead 10-0

I came up with one out in the 5th, with Jim Neidlinger pitching. I struck out.

In the 6th Steve scored on a double play.

Giants lead 11-0

In the bottom half we got a nice Grich - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Gary Jones and Marvell Wynne.

I came up with one out in the 7th and grounded out to Jones at 2nd.

The Cubs finally got on the board in the 7th when Billy Hatcher scored on a Dave Valle single.

Giants lead 11-1

In the 8th pinch hitter Bo Diaz scored on a single by Wynne.

Giants lead 11-2

In the top of the 9th Chris scored on a sac fly by pinch hitter Alan Cockrell.
I was then lifted for pinch hitter Brian Giles.

The score held and we won 12-2

I went 2 for 5 with a triple, a single, an RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base.

Bad news for Robby. After the game we found out he had a strained groin and was heading to the DL for 2-3 weeks.

Tom O'Malley was recalled from Phoenix.
