April 19th, 1989

We had a good game against San Diego yesterday. Let's see how we do today!

The Padres are pitching Ed Wojna (1-0, 1.08).

The Giants are going with Rick Sutcliffe (2-0, 2.42).

I have gone 6 for 21 against Wojna.

Rick is pitching on short rest.

I got into it right away, taking care of a Harold Reynolds grounder for the 1st out.

I then led off our side by hitting one to the fence in deep left centre and legging out a triple! That is 15 straight games with a hit for me!
I scored on a sac fly by Keith Hernandez.

Giants lead 1-0

They got it right back int he 2nd when Junior Felix scored on a single by Ozzie Guillen and a throwing error by Rob Deer.
Then Guillen scored on a groundout by Torey Lovullo.
Then Tom Dodd scored on a double by Reynolds.

Padres lead 3-1

I made a GREAT play in the 3rd to get John Kruk at 2nd on what turned out to be a Felix fielder's choice. It should have been a hit, but I changed that.

I led off the bottom half by taking a walk. I was then thrown out as I ran into a pitchout.

I took care of the first batter in the 4th, handling a Lovullo grounder.

I came up in the 5th with one out, Bob Brenly on 3rd, and Rick on 1st.
I hit into a double play.

Dave Miller took over for us after that. I am unsure why Jim didn't pinch hit for Rick, though it paid off.

In the 7th, Reynolds scored on a single by Tony Gwynn.

Padres lead 4-1

I came up with one out in the 8th and I dropped one into shallow right for a single.
Keith then hit into a double play.

Willie Fraser took the mound for us in the 9th.
He got his three but we couldn't do anything in our half and had to take the loss.

I went 2 for 3 with a single, a triple, a walk, and a run scored.

I am currently hitting .328.

Tomorrow is a travel day, but we aren't going very far. We are heading south to L.A.
