March 11th, 1988

Today the Giants are pitching Eric Show against Manny Hernandez and the Astros.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by grounding out to Dickie Thon at short. 1 for 25.
That inning Mike Aldrete singled and scored on a Rob Deer single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off the 3rd by striking out. 1 for 26.

Scott Service took over pitching in the 5th, after Eric went four without giving up a hit.

I led off the bottom half, now facing Jeff Livin. I lined out to Dave Gallagher in centre. 1 for 27.

Mark Davis came it to pitch for us in the 8th.

I was lifted for a pinch hitter that inning.

The Astros ended up scoring in the 9th and again in the 12th to beat us 2-1.

I am now hitting .037

Tomorrow is an off-day. Maybe I can use it to get my head back on track.
