April 5th, 1989

It is the second half of the double header and we are trying to continue our perfect start to the season.

The Giants are pitching Scott Garrelts against the Padres and Bryn Smith.

This is Scott's first start in the Majors since 1983.

I have gone 6 for 29 against Smith.

I kicked things off by grounding out to Harold Reynolds at 2nd.

The Padres opened the scoring in the 2nd when John Kruk scored on a double play.

Padres lead 1-0

I came up with one out in the 3rd and lined out to Gary Pettis in centre.
We tied it up that inning when Keith Hernandez scored on a Rob Deer single.

Game tied 1-1

They got the lead right back when Reynolds scored on a Tony Gwynn single.

Padres lead 2-1

I caught a pop up by Ozzie Guillen in the 4th for the 2nd out.

I came up with one out in the 5th and lined out to Randy Ready at 3rd.

In the 6th both Rob and Luis Medina scored on a Jim Presley single.

Giants lead 3-2

I led off the 7th with a triple off the centre field wall!
I scored on a single by Keith.

Giants lead 4-2

Bobby Thigpen took over on the mound for us in the 8th.

I led off the 9th, facing Mark Williamson. I grounded out back to him.

Bobby gave up a lead off walk in the 9th, but that was it and we became 3-0.

I went 1 for 5 with a triple and a run scored.

Tomorrow is a travel day as we head to Cincinnati.
