June 12th, 1988

We still have the Reds and they are pitching Jack Armstrong (0-2, 8.84).

The Giants are pitching Rick Sutcliffe (6-4, 2.22).

We have never faced Armstrong, but he certainly has been struggling.

I led off the home side by popping out to Kurt Stillwell at short.

In the 2nd I started a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to get Stillwell and Ernie Whitt to end the inning.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and I flew out to Dave Parker in right.

In the 5th I got the 1st out off a Stillwell grounder.

I got the 2nd out in the 6th off a fielder's choice ball from Claudell Washington.
Washington ended up scoring on a Kal Daniels single.

Reds lead 1-0

I led off the bottom half by hitting one to the centre-field wall for a double.
Mike Alerte followed with a walk. I then stole 3rd for #47.
Armstrong was called for a balk and I scored.
A couple of batters later, Ruben Sierra hit a three-run homer.

Giants lead 4-1

I got the first out in the 7th off a Stillwell grounder.

I came up in the 7th with none out and Rick on 1st. I flew out to Washington in centre.
Rick ended up scoring on a Chili Davis double.

Giants lead 5-1

I handled an Al Newman grounder for the 2nd out in the 8th.

Mark Davis came in to shut things down in the 9th. Three batters later, we had the win and the sweep!

I went 1 for 4 with a double, a run scored, and a stolen base.

The All-Star voting update has come out and I am leading at short! Chili Davis and Scott Garrelts are getting nice support as well.

Greg Litton is back down and Alan Cockrell is back up.

Brad Wellman cleared waivers and is back with Phoenix.
