Finishing up in New York today.
The Mets have got Ron Darling (4-4, 3.05).
The Giants are going with Frank Viola (5-3, 2.37).
I have gone 3 for 27 against Darling.
I led off the game by grounding out back to Darling.
I came up with two out in the 3rd and singled through the left side. Stolen base #30. Then I scored on a Mike Aldrete triple!
Giants lead 1-0
I got the last out on the inning of a nice snag of a Wally Joyner liner.
I led off the 5th by striking out.
We got another run that inning when Chili Davis scored on a Rob Deer single.
Giants lead 2-0
I got the first out in the bottom half off a Johnny Ray grounder.
I came up with two out in the 6th and struck out again.
I came up with two out in the 9th, now facing Jesse Orosco. I grounded out to Ray at 2nd.
We are able to hold and Frank got a complete game shutout. He was the star of the day on TSN!
I went 1 for 5 with a single, a run scored, and a stolen base.
Down to .304
After the game we found out that Brad Wellman was being placed on waivers so that Tom O'Malley could come back up.
Brad has survived this game before. I hope this works out for him.
