June 21st, 1988

We are hosting the Padres and they are pitching Richard Dotson (0-4, 4.47).

The Giants have Willie Fraser (2-3, 4.66).

I have gone 6 for 19, or .316, against Dotson.

I took care of a Tony Gwynn grounder for the 3rd out in the 1st.

I then came up to bat and lined one into right for a base hit. Stolen base #57. I advanced to 3rd on a Mike Aldrete groundout but was unable to score.

In the 2nd I caught a looper by Ozzie Guillen for the 2nd out.
I then handled a Dwayne Murphy grounder for the 3rd.

I took care of a Rick Cerone grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.

I came to bat with two out in the 3rd and I grounded out to Harold Reynolds at 2nd.

In the 6th I got the 2nd out off a fielder's choice by Guillen.

I came up in the 6th with one out and Willie on 1st. I flew out to Carmelo Martinez in left.

Scott Garrelts took over on the mound for us in the 8th, with the game still scoreless.
That changed quickly as Gwynn scored on a sac fly by Martinez. Then John Kruk scored on a double by Guillen.
We ended the inning with a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to get Murphy and Cerone.

Padres lead 2-0

Jeff Robinson took over for us in the 9th.
Reynolds scored on a Gwynn double. Then Gwynn scored on a Kruk single.

Padres lead 4-0

I led off the 9th by reaching on an infield single, but Mike then hit into a double play.

We managed another hit, but were never able to score.

I went 2 for 4 with two singles and a stolen base.

We have dropped below the Dodgers into 2nd place in the division.

We got some good news after the game. Atlee Hammaker has been activated from the 60-day DL and sent on a rehab assignment to Phoenix.
