September 12th, 1987

The middle game in Cincinnati. The Reds are pitching Tom Browning (18-7, 3.94).

The Giants have Eric Show (13-11, 3.56).

Browning is a very good pitcher but I have had good success against him, going 9 for 23.

I led off the game by walking on four straight pitches. Stolen base #104. I moved to 3rd on a ground out by Mike Aldrete and scored on a ground out by Chili Davis.

Giants lead 1-0

The Reds got it right back when Al Newman scored on a Will Clark single in the bottom half. Then Clark scored on a Claudell Washington double. Eric Davis scored on a wild pitch. Washington scored on a Doug DeCinces sac fly.

Reds lead 4-1

I came up with two out in the 3rd and struck out.

I got the first out in the bottom frame, off a Newman grounder.

In the 4th we got back-to-back homers by Chili and Rob Deer.

Reds lead 4-3

I came up with one out in the 5th and reached on an error to Newman at 2nd. Stolen base #105. Chili walked but both of us were left.

Butch Henry took over pitching for us in the 5th. I got the 1st out for him, off a Kal Daniels grounder. After Newman walked we got him and Clark with a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play.

Frank Williams took the mound for us in the 6th. Davis scored on a double by Washington. I got the 2nd out off an Ernie Whitt grounder. Then I caught a Browning liner to end it.

Reds lead 5-3

I led off the 7th by striking out. With two out Chili hit his 2nd home run of the game. Then Rob singled and Robby Thompson hit s two run blast!

Giants lead 6-5!

In the bottom half I got the 2nd out off a Newman grounder.

I came up with two out in the 8th, now facing Don Robinson. I lined out to Daniels in left.

Dennis Eckersley relieved for us in the 8th. I got the 3rd out, catching a Whitt pop up.

Eck allowed a couple of baserunners in the 9th and Nestor went to Scott Garrelts with one out. He struck out Newman and then Alan Cockrell made a great leaping catch on a Clark fly to end the game.

Great game for the team, but it could have been better for me. 0 for 4 with a walk, a run scored, and two stolen bases.

We got some good news after the game. Bob Brenly was activated from the 60-day DL and sent to Phoenix for some rehab time.

Bob is the heart of the team. It will be great to get him back.
